As for my development system, which is suse9.3 so already quite recent (its successor suse10.0 was just released this week), the bundled xgettext is 0.14.1. I would therefore prefer sticking with the old method for something like the upcoming 6 more months. And except for this very weird encoding error, this "trick" for collecting the strings from non-C-files is working really well and is done for other things as well (glade, for example, although already automated by xgettext itself). It is a workaround, but IMHO not one of the worse ones but a rather elegant one.
