Summary: building with old msgmerge (without option "-U")

Initial Comment:
Building mailman 2.1.6beta1 on Debian woody yields an
error message during make:

/usr/bin/python2.2 ../build/bin/msgfmt.py -o
zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.mo zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po
Merging new template file with existing translations
msgmerge -U zh_TW/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po mailman.pot ||
touch zh_TW/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po
msgmerge: invalid option -- U
Try `msgmerge --help' for more information.
/usr/bin/python2.2 ../build/bin/msgfmt.py -o
zh_TW/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.mo zh_TW/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po

woody's msgmerge is too old to support -U (or --update).

It seems as if mailman.po did not get updated for
zh_TW, all other languages are ok.

It's only a cosmetic bug, because make doesn't abort.

mailman.po files are essentially 'msgmerge'd before shipping
in the tar ball. So, this error is safely ignored unless you
are going to generate your own mailman.po catalog by yourself.
There is also a problem in Chinese(Taiwan) charset (Big5)
that it allows special characters (like '\') in the second
byte of 16bit code.
