Well, xgettext already supports setting an explicit flag for any
keyword, but the problem is that the flag has to be in relation with
the language in use (i.e. we cannot use flag such as "with-context",
but must use one of "c-format", "python-format", "java-format"...).

If you file a bug on GNU gettext, please also CC me so we can work on
convincing Bruno together :)

Also note that you may set per-project XGETTEXT_KEYWORDS inside
po/Makevars or po/Makefile.in.in files, so you need not depend on
intltool getting the proper support once xgettext is ready.

Thanks a lot for your hard work: all translators appreciate that!
