[Evolution] Bonobo and gettext questions...

["Ujwal S. Sathyam" <ujwal netbrowser com>]

Compilation of bonobo from CVS fails on file po/zh_TW.Big5.po. The make process
complains about illegal sequences in 3 lines:
123: msgstr "¤£¤¹³\¥h¦s¨ú¸ê®Æ¬y"
147: msgstr "¦bÀx¦s®w¤º¤£¤¹³\°õ¦æ°Ê§@"
533: "³nÅé¡A¨Ã¥BÅwªï±z ¿í·Ó GNU
³q¥Î¤½¦@³\¥iÃÒ±ø´Ú­«·sµo§G¥¦¡C½Ð±N¦³Ãö¦¹µ{¦¡ªº¿ù»~"

All three lines have a backslash (\) in them. When I changed them to \\,
everything compiled. 

Is this a bug, or is my gettext that provides /usr/bin/msgfmt bad? I have gettext 0.10.35-16mdk. 

This gettext is also giving me problems on the configure script of all things required for evolution including gtkhtml, gal, bonobo-conf, evolution. For all those components, the Makefiles created have "intl" listed as a subdirectory, and make barfs in that directory because it can't find any makefile. I always have to edit the main Makefile to remove the "intl" entry. I had heard that gettext-0.10.35 was needed, but this one seems to be messing things up a bit.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Ujwal
