However, those of us with xview installed got an error message with usage: msgfmt [ -dv ] [ - ] [ name ... ] My guess: as long as programs built against xview use msgfmt with no option, then the switch should be safe. Since I don't know what the -d option is in the xview msgfmt, I don't know if it would be used the same way as in the gettext msgfmt. Perhaps you could contact people familiar with the ports built against xview to see if the ports even use msgfmt and, if so, with what options.
