I know, but I don't have the sources locally and not going to download them
over a 54 K modem. I'll trust your word here :)

Well, that are the choices for me, but nothing to fix on my side so that
users get a working program without additional effort (of building, upgrading
etc...) And I'm certainly not going to drop gettext because of this: I find
it superior to catgets-like translation systems and the problem I stumbled
upon is the only one I know in gettext.
I'll revert adding non-ASCII characters to untranslated strings. That's
bad, but looks like I have no other options for now...
Thanks.
