+Subject: [PATCH] migrate from custom itstool to builtin msgfmt for creating
+ translated XML
+
+gettext upstream has supported this for a very long time, and using it
+means we don't need to jump through hoops to run ninja inside ninja in
+order to generate the .mo files for itstool.
+
+Although meson 0.60.0 added support for real targets for the built .mo
+files, this changed the rules for output filenames, breaking the script.
+But msgfmt does not care, and anyways comes with builtin meson functions
+for convenient use.
+
+Fixes #170
