[gettext] autopoint fails on Windows with missing gzip  #20392

Description

Describe the bug
It appears that autopoint is non-functional due to a missing gzip on Windows:

PS C:\vcpkg> cat C:\vcpkg\buildtrees\libopensp\autoconf-x86-windows-err.log
autoreconf: export WARNINGS=
autoreconf: warning: autoconf input should be named 'configure.ac', not 'configure.in'
autoreconf: Entering directory '.'
autoreconf: running: autopoint --force
/c/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows/tools/gettext/bin/autopoint: line 494: gzip: command not found
tar.exe: gettext-0.14.5: Not found in archive
tar.exe: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
autopoint: *** infrastructure files for version 0.14.5 not found; this is autopoint from GNU gettext-tools 0.21
autopoint: *** Stop.
autoreconf: error: autopoint failed with exit status: 1
PS C:\vcpkg>

Environment

  • OS: Windows

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Checkout [libopensp] new port #20391
  2. ./vcpkg install libopensp
  3. See error

Expected behavior
gzip doesn't appear to be installed as part of the basic msys2 setup by vcpkg_configure_make, which is probably a mistake.
