    Hi,

    http://www.catnook.com/patches/popt-port.patch

contains an attempt in progress at upgrading devel/popt to the latest version,
1.6.4.  Perhaps somebody can have a look and help me fix the remaining
problems.

I have already sent mail to the popt maintainer (cc'd) about about the other
problems listed below, as well as the fact that some files appear to have
literal ``^L'' in them instead of the actual control character; the post-patch
command fixes these.

During the make, I see the following:

    cd . && autoheader
    WARNING: Using auxiliary files such as `acconfig.h', `config.h.bot'
    WARNING: and `config.h.top', to define templates for `config.h.in'
    WARNING: is deprecated and discouraged.

    WARNING: Using the third argument of `AC_DEFINE' and
    WARNING: `AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED' allows to define a template without
    WARNING: `acconfig.h':

    WARNING:   AC_DEFINE([NEED_MAIN], 1,
    WARNING:             [Define if a function `main' is needed.])

    WARNING: More sophisticated templates can also be produced, see the
    WARNING: documentation.
    autoheader: `config.h.in' is updated
 
and a bunch of these:

    /usr/local/bin/msgfmt: de.po: warning: Charset "CHARSET" is not a portable encoding name.
					   Message conversion to user's charset might not work.
    file=./`echo eu_ES | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo  && rm -f $file && PATH=../intl:$PATH /usr/local/bin/msgfmt -o $file eu_ES.po
    /usr/local/bin/msgfmt: eu_ES.po: warning: Charset "CHARSET" is not a portable encoding name.
					      Message conversion to user's charset might not work.
[etc.]

How serious are these?

Then there are some things it installs I am not sure about:
- lib/libpopt.la
- lib/charset.alias
- a bunch of locale files

Any help is appreciated.
