    I've read some parts of the gettext manual before posting here, but my
doubt was due to the AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT macro and the mails I've read that
said that using glib_gettextize instead of autopoint and gettextize was a
bad practice, but as I'm just starting in the i18n world I didn't know why.
I tested the change and a lot of files were copied to my ./po, then I
switched back to the GLib way and posted this. If the method used in that
manual is still appilcable, I'll use that, and wait for the next (or spare)
time to dig deeper and actually read the official GNU gettext manual.
Thanks!

Regards,
  Alex


PS: also, thanks for the good work with all the great audio stuff, Paul.
