Pinning gettext #11

Trying to figure out how we should be pinning gettext. While there don't appear to be that many breaking changes. It does appear the SONAME has changed a few times in recent history. Posting the API/ABI Report here for reference. Pinnings in the org currently vary from none at all, to setting some lower bound in build/run`, to pinning to an exact version. Thoughts on how to standardize this?

changing of soname in 0.19.8 was a mistake which was reverted in 0.19.8.1, so there's no need to pin. Defaults on the other hand has released some R packages compiled with 0.19.8 leading to shared library missing errors. I've reported it to them, but no luck getting them to change.

Any thoughts on what we would like to do here? It would be good if we could at least blacklist the problematic version. Unsure whether that is possible.
