Summary: _locale library patch

Initial Comment:
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.

I would really prefer if such problems where solved in an
autoconf-style approach: 
- is libintl.h present (you may ask pyconfig.h for that)
  - if so, is gettext provided by the C library
  - if not, is it provided by -lintl
     - if yes, add -lintl
     - if no, print an error message and continue
