My error, sorry.  I've reverted the patch where it touched translatable
strings.

I really need somebody to back me up.  I was very busy while that error
was in CVS for almost a month, and nobody could fix it.

Fixed.

Since you were the only person to complain, I guess we could remove
support for gettext older than 0.12.1 from autogen.sh.  It's only used by
the users of the CVS version.
