I'll do some more reading on the proper use of $"stuff". It may be that we
should stick to the lang files, but localize the usage of gettext to those
files.
bb.en.lang:
bbhellothere=$"Hello there"
Then
echo -e $(gettext "$bbhellothere")
This way, the --dump-po-strings will work *for* us and by convention, we
would only use $"stuff" in places where nothing dangeous could be eval'd.
I'll be gone tomorrow. We're driving to New York. We're buying a new
Chowchow. :-)
