Patch #588564: _locale library patch
This patch enables setup.py to find gettext routines when they are
located in libintl instead of libc. Although I developed this patch for
Cygwin, I hope that it can be easily updated to support other platforms
(if necessary). I tested this patch under Cygwin and Red Hat Linux 7.1.
