node-gettext duplicate efforts?

[ottok]

Hello,

Have you noticed there is a project with the same name and same goals? Should you two maybe consider merging..?

https://github.com/andris9/node-gettext

And there is https://github.com/mozilla/i18n-abide too, which is very much like node-gettext but with the significant extra feature of po2json preparsing, which makes the user visible result much faster yet keeps the translations in po-files that have such a great translation tool ecosystem.

I just found in your TODO that you have considered the need for po2json. Maybe you could simply adopt the version from https://github.com/mozilla/i18n-abide/blob/master/bin/po2json.js, which is already Node.js'ified?

@ottok an important difference between these two packages is the licensing. This package is LGPL licensed,while the other package you linked to is MIT licensed.
