What I did was apply patches so I am not using an identifier that is not
defined. I took my additions out yesterday knowing that the strings I took
out would probably make the build fail because they were used elsewhere AND
I had deleted their definitions -- and sure enough -- the build failed with
that kind of error. And it told me which strings were not defined.
At any rate, I will submit a patch. Maybe someone else will have better
luck at figuring out how adding two string definitions could rattle things
so much. Anyway, thanks.
