As Ben pointed out on #pspp, this was a known bug in gettext,
and has been  fixed in CVS. So I checked out the gettext source,
and started compiling it, and it told me I had to have GNU sed.
Solaris sed wasnt' good enough. So I got the GNU sed source, but 
the configure script failed. I'm still working on it half-heartedly.

I'm not sending this message to ask for help, but rather to tell
everyone that compiling pspp on Solaris isn't easy.
