msgfmt

[luis]

Actually Umit use msgfmt.py to generate mo files.

With Guilherme conversation we think that we can use msgfmt from gnu to compile *.mo files.

gettext shouldn't necessary a dependency. it's needed to verify if msgfmt exists and if it does not exist so don't compile *.mo files.

Because Luis is out of time, and Guilherme should know what is going on, I reassinged it to gpolo.

Also related to this ticket, .mo files shouldn't be on the svn repo. The problem is that only the unix installer is compiling the .po files, so before removing them from there the other installers need to be adapted.

After this is fixed we can decide on removing the msgfmt.py, msgmerge.py and pygettext.py Just remember that someone having gettext installed on windows is rare, so if it is desired to let .po files be compiled under windows without external tools then those .py files need to stay.

I'm considering this as fixed with the addition of potmanager and the current use (r4353) in setup.py now.
