It's working, it just hasn't got a helptext. It does exactly what is needed for
various makefiles using the old version. It should probably get one.

Comment 2 Kjartan Maraas 2002-07-23 19:33:15 EDT

Any chance of having this back at some point?

Comment 3 Kjartan Maraas 2002-08-24 17:38:58 EDT

Maybe msghack should be evaluated against the current utils in gettext and maybe
removed if there's little or no functionality added by msghack?

Comment 4 Kjartan Maraas 2003-01-15 08:03:29 EST

Close, implement, WONTFIX?

Comment 5 Leon Ho 2003-01-15 19:56:08 EST

I have now port the online help from the anicent msghack. Keep that in mind it was 
created for supporting various Makefiles which uses old version. 
 
0.11.4-6 has the update. Thanks for your report.
