[Freeciv-Dev] PATCH: po-file comment remove

[Dirk Stoecker <stoecker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

as the comments copied to po-files move around in the file
with no real destination, they are a bit useless. Also I checked
all the copied comments and 99% of them are programmer comments
and not useful for translators. So here is a patch to
po/Makefile.in.in, which removes comments copy and thus also useless
comments from po-files. (removes argument --add-comments from xgettext
call).

Also added --escape to the arguments to convert the none-normal
characters to escape characters. This affects some of the gui-mui
strings, which use 0x1B escape character.

Ciao
