Tool to generate binary GNU .mo file from .po template files. Written

by Martin v. Loewis, proofed by Barry Warsaw for coding standards,
typos, and to make command line options compatible with GNU msgfmt
where they overlap.

Closes patch #101295.

+"""Generate binary message catalog from textual translation description.
+
+This program converts a textual Uniforum-style message catalog (.po file) into
+a binary GNU catalog (.mo file).  This is essentially the same function as the
+GNU msgfmt program, however, it is a simpler implementation.
+
+Usage: msgfmt.py [OPTIONS] filename.po
+
+Options:
+    -h
+    --help
+        Print this message and exit.
+
+    -V
+    --version
+        Display version information and exit.
