Count me one of the others then.  Don't we already preprocess our scripts
before installing anyway?

One thing at a time is of course preferred.

I actually want to stagger the current 70+ patches into two batches.  Have
the first handful, after polishing them really shiny, merged to master,
and possibly rebase topics that are only in 'pu' and that are not meant
for 'maint' on top of the result (so that they can use _() in newly added
messages), and then merge "mark strings in git-foo with _()" patches in.

I suspect it won't be the same to you.  At least, it shouldn't.

Other topics that fix real bugs or add features continue to trickle down
from 'next' to 'master' and you would need to re-roll what you have today.
If you wait (or if we have you wait) for too long, the re-roll would
become just as unpleasant as my merging the i18n topic to 'pu'.

Heh, thanks.  I would think "s/ that are /, /" would fix it rather
nicely.

That is exactly why I phrased it this way.
