Good point, does the compiled version of gettext define a _(), I had 
assumed it only had the
gettext() method. If it does you would need to call GetText::gettext() 
or create a more suitable

Just a thought if you go down this way you can still use xgettext to 
extract the strings for you.
You could then create a couple of scripts for populating your db etc...
