No....

Hm, I just got an idea....
I think it's the same as yours, but beware: Before merging catalogs you
have to remove the headers and duplicate entries or msgfmt will refuse
the compile them....

Theoretically, yes...

No, despite of replacing gettext.... :)

We could also use to remove the barriers in GIMP i18n for know. This
would only have one big limitation we also suffer from at the moment:
No different translations for same wording but different meaning.
Everyone: Since I stumbled over a severe problem which probably means
that I can't realise my solution with gettext at the moment, would it
make sense to you to:
a) Move the used catalog from its standard location to the homedirectory
of the user?
b) Merge all translations into this catalog with help from a
script/tool?
c) Remove the hackery from the sourcecode since it would be unnecessary
then?
d) Release GIMP 1.2?
e) Head for a proper solution afterwards? :)
