Strings with like

```
g_strdup_printf (_("%"G_GINT64_FORMAT" minutes ago"), minutes);
```

are quite common in glib based programs to cater for the differences in
integer sizes. However running msgfmt on those strings gives:

> src/foo.c:103: warning: Although being used in a format string position, the
msgid is not a valid C format string. Reason: The string ends in the middle of
a directive.

Would be great if msgfmt could parse this. 

This is gettext 0.25.2
