  facto community standard.

[Changes for 0.45 - 2004-10-26]

* Fix decoding problem on Big5 containing "]", as reported by Jiing Deng.

[Changes for 0.38 - 2004-04-26]

* The quotemeta() introduced in 0.37 broke Locale::Maketext::Simple.

* L::M::Extract now parses the '# loc' and '# loc_pair'
  markers before end of lines, as used in RT.

* New module, L::M::Extract::Run, that encapsulates the
  xgettext.pl script.

[Changes for 0.37 - 2004-04-21]

* Thanks Christian Hansen for reminding me of the
  quotemeta() bug.

* Forgot to put quotemeta() around dir patterns; pointed
  out by Jouke Visser.  This caused tests on Win32 to fail.

* Respect the LAGUAGES and LC_MESSAGES environment variables.

[Changes for 0.36 - 2004-03-17]

* Gettext used to break when the re-encoded lexicon
  contains Maketext's escape characters like "[" and "~".

  single-line "string\n".  Such treatments are meant for
  multiline strings.

  ::Gettext instead of (encode|decode)('utf8', ...).

[Changes for 0.31 - 2003-10-13]

* 0.30 still broken on Robert Spiers's darwin box, so
rewrote them to totally avoid capturing parenthesis.

* Also modify Extract.pm to be not reentrant.

[Changes for 0.30 - 2003-10-13]

* '*' in sources will now get properlly expanded by globbing.

* The reentrant-regex transformation used in ::Gettext was
