Thanks for the report. I removed the compile problem by just changing 
cerr to std::cerr and endl to std::endl. I have no idea how this
happend as I use a fairly recent g++ that complains about namespace
issues like this usually. 

Thanks too for this hint about the intltool-merge programm. I have no
idea how to solve this cleanly. But I'm looking into it and see what I
can do ...

I worked on a similar problem with the sources.list editor for
0.48. So I would be happy if you could send me your sources.list file.

Feedback about your results from trying to edit it with 0.48 is very
welcome too. If there are no other compileproblems, just remove the
cerr line (or patch it with the attached patch).

thanks,
 Michael
