Prefaced by "I am not a programmer":
The man page for msgfmt provided by xview shows only one option -v
(verbose). 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.
