Names of .mo files and lacking plural forms

[Danilo Segan <dsegan gmx net>]

Is there a way to programmaticaly determine what should the name of .MO 
file be, from either .PO file and a branch, or just the .PO file, or one 
must always use the PACKAGE variables from autoconf files in each 
package (and other variables used for bindtextdomain)? Is there some 
convention followed in Gnome?

Also, if there are some software packages which don't use plural forms 
where they should (e-mail applet in gnome-applets being the one), am I 
supposed to report this to Bugzilla? How is this related to "string 
freezes"?

Cheers,
