The non thread safe prerequisite is php, not gettext.  I don't think we
can get rid of php.  So it would be better to work with the php folks to
get php to be thread safe, not to change every php application to work
around php limitations.

Or, perhaps in addition, rather than each project using php (say X projects)
circumventing the problem, we can have just one project (php itself) fix
the problem.

Instead of X projects spending Y time to circumvent the problem, causing
X*Y man hours spent, we can just spend Y time fixing php, causing just Y
man hours spent, and all future projects benefit without any time being
spent on it.

Okay.  The whole truth is horde isn't broken.  The limitation is in php.
So the proper place to fix it is in php, not horde.
