Hehe. I somehow had the impression that there were only a handful of patches. Imagine how surprised I was when format-patch came up with 15!

Yes, will do so.

The thing is: these four changes are easy enough that update-po will still match them, and mark them with "fuzzy".

Now, before I go and bug my dear translators, I will play around with a custom diff driver for .po files which should be easier on the eye: it is not in the least funny to see gazillions of changes which are just line number changes, and to miss out the real modifications.

BTW I like your "quiet" patch...
