add a Makefile switch to avoid gettext translation in shell scripts
Some systems have gettext.sh (GNU gettext) installed, but it is either
broken or misconfigured in such a way so its output is not usable. In
case the users of these systems are unable or not interested in fixing
them, setting the new Makefile switch should help:
make USE_GETTEXT_SCHEME=fallthrough
This will replace the translation routines with fallthrough versions,
that does not use gettext from the platform.
