Allow compilation without internationalization (gettext dependency) #7

Description
Currently, libuio requires gettext due to the use of internationalization of messages in lsuio.
For embedded systems that just need the libuio library, this is a heavy dependency wrt compilation time.
I am currently using a patch that stubs out the internationalization alone (see below).
Since I guess you would not just accept that patch as it is not flexible, here are two alternative approaches:
- provide a configure option to enable/disable internationalization support
- provide a configure option to enable/disable the building of the userspace tools lsuio and readuio. When these tools are not requested, there should also not be a gettext dependency.
What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks.
