"Warning: tinygettext:" messages when starting any level

[Kjell Braden]

Binary package hint: supertux

When starting any level in supertux, I get a dark bar at the top of the screen showing me lines like:

-- snip --
Warning: tinygettext: expected 'msgid' keyword, got msgstr at line 356
Warning: tinygettext: expected 'msgid' keyword, got msgstr at line 356

I'm using hardy and supertux 0.3.1d-0ubuntu1 and the german locale.

Parse supertux's PO files correctly

When using most of the locales (if not all), useless and confusing warning are show in the top part of the screen, due to various bugs in the PO file parser (tinygettext).

How to reproduce:

LANG=fi supertux
LANG=cs_CZ supertux

A patch is attached to address the problem.

Disable the debugging console

Probably the debugging console should not be presented to game player at all. Messages about a frame being skipped or audio being reset are only of interest to the developer, which the 0.3.1 release is targeted at.

Since we consider this, against upstream recommendations, stable, we should not enable development hacks on. The very same information that is presented in the console is dumped to stderr anyways, so we don't loose any information here.

This is pending a fix in Fedora, see Affects above.
