From: Vincent van Ravesteijn <vfr@lyx.org>
Rewrite user messages to stick to a uniform style for all messages. From the surrounding code, the following guidelines were deduced:
- messages start with a capital,
- short messages do not end with a full stop,
- paths, filenames, and commands are quoted by single quotes (if not separated by the normal text by a ':'),
- 'could not' is used rather than 'cannot'.
