Gettext and the \v escape characters

Hi,

Noticed a bug(?) when playing with escape characters in c sources and Gettext.

gettext("hello \t world");
gettext("hello \v world");

In the PO file, '\t' is preserved, but '\v' is converted to a vertical tab 
character.

I'm not convinced it's a bug, or if it is just me being picky (who would use 
\v in a internationalised message?) - but I figure I'd post it anyway :)

cheers,
asgeir
