On a related note: could we add USAGE_*_NN with no trailing newline
for use with puts() on new/converted commands? For example:

#define USAGE_HEADER        _("\nUsage:\n")
#define USAGE_HEADER_NN     _("\nUsage:")

My plan is to remove the trailing newline from USAGE_HEADER and friends
when no usage() funtion needs to use fputs() anymore.

I got the impression from the other discussion that legacy apps would
continue to use fputs() so that their strings would not have to be
modified. But I guess they won't need to use it for USAGE_*, if that is
what you mean.

Removing the trailing newline from USAGE_* will mean changing
fputs(USAGE_*) to puts(USAGE_*) in every command project wide, yes?

I don't know yet. I thought we could do the next huge cosmetic puts patch
semi-automatic in UL and also in the translation project. I will figure
out after this first step of boring work is done. ;)

Rudi
