Hi Benno,

Thanks for all the patches!

Starting with the last one...

Subject: [PATCH] false: mark "false" description for translation

* src/true.c (usage): Mark both strings with N_, so that
the one for "false" is also extracted for translation.
For consistency, mark both, although only the latter one needed it.
Inspired by a patch from Benno Schulenberg.
