Hm, I already recognized that some strings aren't extracted and found out
that it seemed to happen in code parts that are commented out like in the
configuration files. Together with the quoting problem I know now, why the
strings were extracted by extract.pl before.

But I really like the fact that xgettext from the gettext package shows the
locations where the strings appear. That makes it easier for us translators
to find out the context where a string appears.

It would be great if anyone has a nice solution that fixes this without the
need to extract the strings manually again.
