If it were just an issue of run-time function calls, I'd suggest a
wrapper function IFF gettext doesn't have the right function. However, I
suspect that the translation extraction tools would miss translations
where we call the_new_gettext_function() instead of _() (which of course
maps to gettext). Maybe we could teach intltool-extract about the new
formats? Maybe that's already been done?
