And then a --version for whatever programs that function uses,
e.g. here:

Nothing. Exit code 127.

Interesting.

   $ wonbsubst --version; echo $?
   bash: wonbsubst: command not found
   127

Perhaps your distro lacks a necessary package dependencies between gettext
and envsubst?

I believe gettext (the binary) just doesn't start at all here. Maybe
some Cygwin library wrong or missing library. Happens all the time
here,...

Aha.

I guess we either leave it broken for broken installation or add an extra
"MY_GETTEXT_IS_BROKEN" option; in either way, it does not sound like a
serious enough issue that is widespread to be urgently fixed during the
feature freeze.

Ævar already posted a very cute little fix for this, which looks
pretty minimal and is very obvious.

P.S. Sorry for html mail before (tried to use the Android Gmail client).
