Thanks.

I would
  1. write "non-ASCII" instead of "nonprinting". Whether a character is
     printing or not, depends on the character set and encoding - it is not
     an absolute term. The character "ò" _is_ a printing character - when
     you consider the UTF-8 encoding, that is declared in the PO file.
     The problem is that OpenBSD 4.0 'grep' assumes the ASCII encoding
     (possibly because we run it in "C" locale, possibly because it is
     hardcoded, I don't know).
  2. not change the order of the tests. There's a (possibly not visible)
     logic behind the order. I mean this hunk. Can you please swap back
     the lines 259 and 260?
