By default install only binaries with `-new' suffix applied. This provides an

easy way to compile/use newest packages that don't build with oldest gettext
without the headache associated with making it possible to install fill-blown
gettext and gettext-devel on the same machine at the same time. Usually the
following should be sufficient to fix ports that doesn't build with oldest
gettext:

BUILD_DEPENDS+=	msgfmt-new:${PORTS}/devel/gettext-devel
CONFIGURE_ENV+=	MSGFMT=${LOCALBASE}/bin/msgfmt-new \
		XGETTEXT=${LOCALBASE}/bin/xgettext-new
