I've been thinking of testing for bind_textdomain_codeset and avoid the
stripping if it is available. I would think the warning is specific to GNU
gettext, but I'm not sure. This would probably avoid many user questions.
This would also make life easier for translators, since as it stand now,
error messages refer to a temporary file (.spo) which doesn't exist
afterwards.
I'm not sure how to implement this portably. Is the make if construct
portable?
