I'm curious: Do you plan to do the same with PCM .wav files? (They are "always" little-endian, like .mo files). I can agree that "it works" is not always a good reason to do things in a certain way, but what you are proposing is a change in something which is a de facto standard, for very little benefit (saving some cpu cycles). When the cost of something is very high and the benefit is very small, the natural thing to do is to keep things as they are. Anyway, I can forward your suggestion upstream if you insist, but I don't plan to deviate from upstream gettext if the authors reject your suggestion. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
