It may not be bad. But it is a waste of time for the translators if
the program does not get used by anyone -- well, hardly anyone.
More importantly: it does not work. When translating some of
genfile's messages and installing the result, the translations
don't appear when running 'LANG=nl_NL tests/genfile --help'.
(Changes made at the same time to tar's messages do appear when
running the corresponding 'LANG=nl_NL src/tar --help'.)
