Interesting. I tried this, which gives you the preprocessor output:
gcc -I../../ -E alpm.c > alpm_preproc.c
And all of the gettext calls are non-existent. It gets subbed out
somehow. Then I notice #include config.h was never in this file, thus
not enabling NLS (native lang support). Fixed in CVS.

TODO: check includes in all files to make sure we are doing them
right. We should always include global headers first (and only the
ones we need), followed by config.h, and then the alpm headers. And
now that I think about it, should config.h always go first, even
before global headers?
