Why do you use such a version number for *upstream* gettext? The
upstream source tarball, on http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/ ,  is
called just gettext-0.17.tar.gz and indeed it identifies itself as
just 0.17 in the version.sh file. There are no Windows binaries for
gettext 0.17 at the upstream site, so I don't know why you say it
doesn't have relocation "builtin". The code to support it is certainly
there, in the source code.

I wish there was a clearer separation between what actually *is* MinGW
(i.e. gcc, binutils, w32api) and other software distributed from the
same site.

The feature already is there in the source code and works fine.
