xgettext

I have a few questions:

I know what gettext is. I've read a few posts where they mentioned xgettext and was curious as to what is the difference between the two.

How can I install xgettext on Windows?

And finally, does anybody have a tutorial on how to install the library php-gettext http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/php-gettext/ (this one usually doesn't come with PHP) I've read about it in an article but I'm not sure how to get it working in Windows. The thing is, sometimes when you make changes, you need to restart Apache to see the new data with the gettext that comes with PHP (but with the library you don't need to restart it) so I wanted to use the library for development. Thanks!
