The current .pot file needs a couple of small changes at the moment. The
missing message string is a feature Franz added at the last moment, so
the source files I was extracting from missed this. 

While Franz and Paul are at the Linux Expo in the UK, I have been down
with hard disk problem, now fixed, but which required a complete rebuild
of Red Hat, so I an mcatching up on e-mail.

Hopefully, I'll have an update later on tonight. I'm still restoring
files from backup.

Thanks for the kind words. One of the things I appreciate from the list
members is all the help in translation and patches for this and that..

Best regards,
Peter
