Hmm. I'll change the patch to
#define REPORT_BUGS_TO _("Report bugs to bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org")
and
fprintf (stream, REPORT_BUGS_TO);
Looks cleaner in the fprintf, and also can be very easily changed as
you suggest. I can't see any benefit though in splitting the string.
I suppose it might trim the size of po files a little (at the expense of
slightly larger executables). Surely translators don't need a cue to
"translate this phrase, but not this url"? Enlighten me if there's some
other reason.
