+- Bug:
+
+  > ke@tux:> msginit --locale=de_DE.ISO-8859-1 -i project.pot -o - \
+  >            | grep charset
+  > "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
+
+  Oh, this is a bug. If de_DE.ISO-8859-1 is installed, it should use
+  ISO-8859-1, not UTF-8. If the locale is not installed, it should
+  complain.
+
+- Multiple po directories:
+  You would need to associate the catalogue name with the
+  directory name, or just keep them the same. Don't use @PACKAGE@ in each.
+
+- Recommendations for --help messages:
+
+
+. Try rip out common phrases all and everywhere.  These are good
+candidates:
+
+"      --help                     display this help and exit\n"
+"      --version                  output version information and exit\n"
+
+or:
+
+"Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.\n"
+
+'xgettext' is able to accumulate common messages or common parts of
+messages and the translators has to translate those messages only once
+when proper splitting took place.
+
+. It's not okay to split sentences; this is a fatal error (please, split
+at paragraph bounderies):
