There seems indeed no danger, as the identification of the tags only 
continues until it encounters something it does not know.


Another issue: please beware that things like ngettext can currently not be 
used in the backend without breaking translation in WinBoard, as this only 
implements _(). I don't know if it is acceptable to write

ngettext( _(singular) , _(plural), count)

in that case (this would work in WinBoard, which is compiled with 
ENABLE_NLS off).

For the engine-output title I fixed this now (it was broken there anyway, 
because in that file not even _() was defined to do something). But this 
works only in that file,and in other files using ngettext would still break 
things.

I wonder why in every file we have an ever-growing #ifdef ENABLE_NLS 
section, while we also #include "gettext.h". Shouldn't this simply be moved 
to "gettext.h" (which, after all, is not <gettext.h>)? Then fixes like I 
made now for engineoutput.c would automatically be valid for the entire project.
