Re: [PATCH] Added note for translators to gai_strerror.c, so they don't

           invalid directory: '%HOME%'
    not    invalid directory: %HOME%

I am not aware that this is any particular rule for GNU, or anything else.

Personally I find it much more convenient to have such filenames
included without the quotes.  And I think that's what most error msgs
(every one I recall seeing, in fact) do.  When cutting and pasting such
things, quotes just get in the way.

I think it's better to use `...' too, but let's not have that discussion
again.

I do agree about not quoting variable names, at least :).

Just MHO.
