I received numerous "gencat" problems during a make of blackbox-0.60.2.
These include errors such as:

This is on a NetBSD 1.42 system. My system (and NetBSD in general) doesn't
have a gencat manpage. gencat reports:
Usage: gencat catfile msgfile ...
OpenBSD's is probably similar to NetBSD. It is at:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gencat&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&format=html
It has information about "input rules" amd "escape characters"; hopefully
it can help, because I have no experience or knowledge of gencat.
