So when intltool does its stuff on .xml files, apart from expanding all the languages into the merged file, it strips all whitespace down to a single space.

Which means all the e_error stuff can't do any formatting at all, which looks 'rawlee bad'.  When I wrote the stuff it didn't do this, and then I never really took much notice after i i18n'd it.

Any ideas?  Can you stop intltool doing this?  Do we need to write another tool to do the string extraction, instead (i'm thinking this might be the way to go - we can fix the absurd file expansion too).

What about the POTFILES.in, is it just stripping all the linefeeds before it goes there too??

Ugh. what a huge PITA.
