Programmatically handle pluralization properly everywhere #261

Description

@cooljeanius

Sometimes when I do fink update-all, it will say:

Information about 15260 packages read in 1 seconds.

Now, I get that plurals can be difficult to handle properly in internationalized software. I've read Locale::Maketext::TPJ13. Nevertheless, libraries exist to handle all of the complexities here. In gettext, there's the ngettext() function, for example. It would be just a nice little bit of polish to use a pluralization function for strings like these.
