Well, since we are the leading Development Environment on Unix we can surely
misuse our domination to force the make guys to keep their translation
strings for the next 400 years ;)
Anyways, if translations get changed, our system gets messed, with or without
my patch...

Korean translation has "blah `<dir>' blah" so it would fail ;)
Make is spitting out a lot of messages so we would either capture too much or
too little. Besides, the quotation marks aren't hard-coded, so it could be <<
>> as well as a mixture of ` and '. We also don't want to capture messages
like "you did something stupid in `blah'".
Besides, the last "make" tarball is now 2 years old, so I don't think we'll be
running after a moving target ;)
The alternative would be to make the strings conigurable or read them out of
the .mo files, but that's something for the next version :)
Best regards,
Harry
