po compilation breakage

[Hubert Figuiere <hfiguiere teaser fr>]

I can't finish building Dia because of these errors in a .po file:

file=./echo zh_TW.Big5 | sed 's,.*/,,'.gmo \
  && rm -f $file && PATH=../src:$PATH /usr/bin/msgfmt -o $file zh_TW.Big5.po
zh_TW.Big5.po:161: illegal control sequence
zh_TW.Big5.po:382: illegal control sequence
zh_TW.Big5.po:1592: illegal control sequence
zh_TW.Big5.po:1907: illegal control sequence
zh_TW.Big5.po:1911: illegal control sequence
zh_TW.Big5.po:1915: illegal control sequence
zh_TW.Big5.po:2050: illegal control sequence
zh_TW.Big5.po:2808: illegal control sequence
found 8 fatal errors

It looks like msgfmt is being confused by the Big5 chars used... because on
several occasion there are '\' that are just part of the multibyte charset.
What is the solution ?
