I started some discussions on this topic, and while it's a possible solution, patching all the bindtextdomain() calls is often cumbersome -- at least in vte there were a bunch, but I didn't check eel2 -- and will be forgotten for new upstream releases. So even if it's feasible technically for one version and is technically elegant, I think there's a high risk of introducing silent breakage with this solution. Plus, it's generally more work. -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
