This indicates that you have the 'gettext' package installed but not the
'gettext-devel'
package.

Correct. For working on CVS checkouts you need more tools than for building a
released tarball.

No, Cygwin has two separate packages 'gettext' and 'gettext-devel', like it is
recommended in gettext's PACKAGING file. The "good reason" not to put all
programs into the 'gettext' package is the installed size (400 KB vs. 5 MB),
in relation to the number of users (100% vs. maybe 25%).
