I tried check_po.pl with the newest sv.po and the newest gettext which is now 
in Freeciv and there were many more problems reported. But I don't think they 
are problems.

As far as I remember, check_po.pl was made because the gettext checks 
complained about different number of substitution directives in msgid and 
msgstr when Freeciv used the old ugly n_if_vowel kludge.

In its current state it causes more confusion than good.
