There have been a couple of problems with po files and encodings
recently. I think (and please correct me if i am wrong) that they are
caused because gettext changed some behaivior after 0.10.35. So the
potfiles will either work on 0.10.35 or will work on post 0.10.35. Seems
to me that what we need to do is decide which version we are going to
use for GNOME, this way we can all upgrade (and require that version)
and forget about this problem. It is really annoying, this has happened
to several hackers.

Can someone with a better understading of the problem confirm if this
will solve the recent problems with po files ?
