Translation problems with string constants

There are several cases in which string constants stand in the way of easy
translation. The first being parametrised strings; I'd like to solve those
this way:

   SVN_ERRDEF (SVN_ERR_CLIENT_REVISION_AUTHOR_CONTAINS_NEWLINE,
               SVN_ERR_CLIENT_CATEGORY_START + 10,
- SVN_PROP_REVISION_AUTHOR " contains a newline")
+ N_("svn:author contains a newline"))
+

Anybody who deems this unacceptable?

An other being the format strings like SVN_REVNUM_T_FMT; those can be solved
by introducing functions which do the revnum -> string formatting and having
the SVN_REVNUM_T_FMT (and friends) replaced with %s.
There are two possible solutions to stringify the information:
1) Add macros
2) Add (inline) functions

In both cases the question is: where?

My preferance would be (public) macros because they do not require linking
any specific library.

bye,

Erik.
