Which probably did not show up yet; the list address is dev@ (not devel@)

I think this is a good convention. If you do that to all po files, would you
also document it in TRANSLATING please?

Well, if I add the check to the cronjob, that would have almost the same
effect; I don't expect a commit rate to the translations as high as that on
the rest of our code. (Is that incorrect?)

That's why I thought we can't do it to the main build:
http://www.netsys.com/cgi-bin/solaris9?msgfmt(1) seems to indicate Solaris 9
does not support -c.
