Hi,

finally got round to getting tp to compile and link using MinGW/MSYS.
Had (almost) endless trouble getting gettext to compile/link.

I seem to have fallen at the last fence though. The tp Makefile uses
msgfmt to turn .po files into .mo files using a command like this:

msgfmt src/po/af.po -o trans/af.mo

When I use my newly built msgfmt 0.14.1 it complains about the output
file option coming after the input filename. This works:

msgfmt -o trans/af.mo src/po/af.po

and seems to match conventional parameter order and 'msgfmt --help'

msgfmt [OPTION] filename.po

Either order seems OK with msgfmt 0.12.1 on my Linux box.

So my questions are:
  Is there any reason for the current order?
  Is it OK to change Makefile for everyone?

cheers,
John Popplewell.
