 Module Name:   pkgsrc

 Modified Files:
        pkgsrc/mk/tools: msgfmt.sh
 
 Log Message:
 Modify msgfmt.sh to make the following changes when filtering *.po files:
 
        msgid           -> msgid ""
        msgid"..."      -> msgid "..."
        msgstr          -> msgstr ""
        msgstr"..."     -> msgstr "..."
 
 The filtered *.po files can then be processed by msgfmt<=0.10.35.
 
 These changes workaround bugs in *.po files in software of the "all
 the world runs Linux" variety where the software author either willfully
 or stupidly can't follow the format for *.po files described in section
 2.2 of the gettext info manual and, in addition, makes lame excuses
 when confronted with the evidence.
 
 This closes PR pkg/33506 by Ben Collver.
