According to Bruno Haible on 5/18/2008 7:38 AM:
| This module was already presented in
|   http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2006-09/msg00055.html
|
| After fixing this issues mentioned by Ben Pfaff and Paul Eggert, I'm
moving it
| from GNU gettext into gnulib. I'll also update the GNU gettext
documentation to
| refer to it.

I'm trying to use it in m4, but am failing to see the desired changes to
the m4.pot file after rerunning xgettext with the modified
XGETTEXT_OPTIONS.  It seems like xgettext doesn't understand coreutils'
and m4's usage pattern:

#include "propername.h"

#define AUTHORS                                                 \
~  proper_name_utf8 ("Rene' Seindal", "Ren\xc3\xa9 Seindal"),       \
~  proper_name ("Gary V. Vaughan"),                           \
~  proper_name ("Eric Blake")

...
~  version_etc (stdout, PACKAGE, PACKAGE_NAME, VERSION, AUTHORS, NULL);


$ xgettext --version | head -n1
xgettext (GNU gettext-tools) 0.16.1

But even though the .pot file isn't changing, the use of proper_name is
doing something useful:

pre-patch:
$ m4 --version | grep Written
Written by Rene' Seindal, Gary V. Vaughan, and Eric Blake.

post-patch:
$ m4 --version | grep Written
Written by René Seindal, Gary V. Vaughan, and Eric Blake.

Any hints?

At any rate, I've committed this to the m4 master branch, if it helps you
look into the matter.
