Need somebody to explain

[Martin Schulze <joey@finlandia.Infodrom.North.DE>]

Hi,

this snippet was found in dbootstrap.h

#ifndef _TESTING_
        #define _(String) String
#else
        #include <libintl.h>
        #define _(String) gettext(String)
#endif

Can somebody please explain its deeper sense to me?

This means that we only use gettext/pointerize if we are using
the _test targets.  Why?  Why don't we use the same when creating
the final floppies?

Regards,

	Joey
