Hi,

attached a small fix, for OS's who do not natively support the `LC_MESSAGES` 
locale.

When on these platforms the gettext extension is compiled in, it is still 
useless,
since libintl.h is the one defining the locale.

Tested and working, no side-effects observed.

With kind regards,

Melvyn Sopacua
<?php include("not_reflecting_employers_views.txt"); ?

I think this patch should go to the PHP_4_3 branch too.

    What is useless, this patch or gettext?
