Thanks for the *proper* handling of all possibilities with the commited
patch :)

However, it will still not allow missing directives in single-number plural
forms, as it does for the c-format. The attached patch is the part of the
old one resolving that, only updated against the CVS code after your patch.
It allows one missing directive only (so that translators need not insert
the number in single-number forms).

Running the patched version on the existing translations turns out that
there are not so many problems per language regarding perculiarities of the
new-style directives. I guess it would be enough even if I myself collect
the warnings in a nice format and publish them to language teams some time
prior to the release.

On the other hand, the release is currently scheduled for end of December,
so having the new Gettext release by the mid/end of November may make more
vigilant translation coordinators happy.

(I also have one little extra feature for xgettext in mind, which may as
well be nice to have in the next Gettext release if approved; I'll write
about it any-moment-now on Translation-i18n.)
