I don't test the real output of each and every translation (I can't) but
I tested the big picture after make install.
( /usr/local/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/gnokii.mo is taken into account )

It's far from perfect, especially the named argument expected by options
and some edge-case where line-length may become an issue.
But at least it's a bit better than before (if all of us can compile it)
