Okay.  I was just asking.

Hmm...  I thought that grep used to behave the way that I expect,
but it doesn't -- not any more, at least.  But nano still does.
Its Makefile.in.in (that it somehow pulls in from somewhere on
my system) seems to be from 2002, belonging to gettext-0.11.5.

I will report to bug-gettext about the lack of updating a .gmo file
when its parent .po file has changed in the current Makefile.in.in.
If they change it, you will get it automatically (in time), so you
can forget about this.

Regards,

Benno
