Actually, I am not worried about the duration of the gettextize step
itself, but worried about the fact that host-gettext now gets
unconditionally added to all packages that have <pkg>_AUTORECONF = YES,
while this gettextize is probably not needed for the majority of them.
So we pull-in a fairly heavy dependency (host-gettext) for no reason
for such packages.
