This small patch fixes a problem for package-messages. The problem was that 
the user got

	xgettext: error while opening "/include/kde.pot" for reading: No such file or
	directory

when running "make -f admin/Makefile.common package-messages" if he had KDE 
installed in a standard place (for example configured without --prefix) and 
thus didn't define KDEDIR.

Then I also need to know how to use latin1 characters, for example the 
multiplication sign (×). I have tried "Ã\227" in the string. Then the 
multiplication sign is shown in the user interface, but xgettext complains 
about non-ASCII characters, so I can not do that. I also tried to replace × 
with x. Of course this shows x but all the translations can use ×, and 
xgettext shuts up. But I can not do this either because it is wrong for 
English. Can this be fixed by creating an english translation that only 
translates the strings that need non-ASCII characters? If not, what should be 
done?

I may need to add comments to pot-files. It seems like the 
xgettext-commandline needs --add-comments[=TAG]. Could you please add this 
feature to the KDE build system?

I would like to display a character that is not in latin1, the "less than or 
equal" sign. How is it done?
