Ok, found it, geda-gaf/xorn, just under the nose so to say...

The README says 

$ autoreconf -i
autopoint: *** The AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION declaration in your configure.ac
               file requires the infrastructure from gettext-0.18.2 but this version
               is older. Please upgrade to gettext-0.18.2 or newer.
autopoint: *** Stop.
autoreconf: autopoint failed with exit status: 1

so I'll look into that tomorrow...

Soo, currently it is python that is available.
