Check boost-format (and possibly other formats)

[Jacek Sieka]

Hello, my package (dcplusplus) uses boost for formatting strings, and conveniently, gettext supports boost-format much like c-format.

Recently I had some problems with translations because they were not correctly formatted, and gettext complained when making mo-files.

Here is a relevant string:
#, boost-format
msgid "%1% renamed to %2%"
msgstr ""

This had been translated more or less like this:
"%1% blablabla% 2%"
with the space in the wrong position which rosetta happily accepted.

Boost formatting is explained here: http://www.boost.org/libs/format/doc/format.html#syntax
It is a rather simple superset of normal printf formatting...

We might need to upgrade our gettext library for this (we are using gettext to check validity of messages).

It seems one of our gettext library updates fixed this (I've checked it locally, should QA on production as well).
