Error generating locales using master branch

Evergreen version - master
OpenSRF version - 2.0
PostgreSQL version - 9.0

We are getting errors running "make newpot" on a fresh checkout of master.

~/repos/Evergreen/build/i18n$ mkdir locale
opensrf@fred:~/repos/Evergreen/build/i18n$ make newpot
Error in line 9558 of SQL source file: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

Thomas Berezansky suggested trying "make install_all_locales" but that returned the same errors.

Ben Shum confirmed the issue and noted there were no problems with fresh rel_2_0 and rel_2_1. He further found that it doesn't like the ‡ character in Open-ILS/web/js/dojo/openils/authority/nls/authority.js which was in line 22. So could be a unicode issue.

Dan Scott has written up a patch to fix this issue available in working repo - user/dbs/fix-i18n-build
[ http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=8f47b79befdd1d7c92406ec24ef1c8b06f2bc1b2 ]

I have confirmed that the patch fixes the issue.
