        Hi all!

This is (IMHO) i18n matter, even if it involves the original English
text.

In the common/share.c file we found this line:

_("%s: Fatal error: you're trying to run me as superuser!\n")

The output of this line, is IMHO very bad,  there are 2 colon (:) and
thus the message is very readable.

Isn't this a better text?

_("Fatal error: you're trying to run %s program as superuser!\n")

I'm not English native speaker, but this way there is a clear definition
(Fatal error) and the related issue, with the subject (%s) that has
raised the problem.

Any comment?

        Ciao, Davide

P.S. Patch, attached...
