so i understand as:
1. using cp, inode is preserved, but can cause other disasters when gettext 
doesn't expect file change, i.e it file contents overwrite should be followed 
by the bindtextdomain(PACKAGE, "/"); invalidation hack.

2. using rm+cp (via install(1)) however makes it impossible to invalidate 
cache?

so as summary, no reliable solution now to reload gettext catalog runtime?
