Workaround for the windowmaker port "make install" problem of:

      msgfmt-new -o fi.mo fi.po
      fi.po:1717: syntax error


The workaround is to use the "msgfmt" from the "gettext-0.10.35" port
i.e. "msgfmt" instead of "msgfmt-new".

i.e.:

Build the port until it fails as usual and then:

% cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/windowmaker/work/WindowMaker-0.65.1/po
% msgfmt -o fi.mo fi.po
% msgfmt -o it.mo it.po
% msgfmt -o sk.mo sk.po


Then continue from directory "/usr/ports/x11-wm/windowmaker" with
"make install".

Have fun.

P.S. I haven't looked at the problem further but thought this info
may be useful.
