But in this patch both features are incompatibles. The way gettext
marks multiples lines strings is the following:

msgid="This is a multi"
      "line string\n"

Which is the same as "This is multiline string\n".

So all the strings marked in the way of this patch, will be
misunderstod by gettext. If you put

msgid="This is a multi
       line string\n"

will be parsed as:

msgid="This is a multi"

which it is not what we want.

And what's more I think that gettext way is better, cause it let you
format the style you see in the ruleset file, and the style it would be
printed (which would not be the same).
