[PATCH] Check translation format strings

Hi,

Are there any objections to the following patch? I don't know how
old/widely available this flag is in msgfmt. The problem with -c is that,
at least in my msgfmt, it wants an Last-Translator header, and sees it as
a fatal error if there is none.

The reason for this is that it will turn run-time crashes into build
errors.

Check format strings in message translations during the build.

* Makefile.in (.spo.mo): Add --check-format option to msgfmt command line.
