flagging messages with msgfmt errors

[Valient Gough]

It would be nice if Rosetta flagged messages which fail msgfmt's checks.

I have imported a translation .po file from Rosetta and msgfmt gives
lots of errors such as 
fi.po:507: `msgid' and `msgstr' entries do not both end with '\n'

Right now I have to look up the message and search Rosetta by hand in
order to be able to fix it online.  So, either it would be nice if
Rosetta tagged these messages, or else merge in changes from an external
translation file (so I could fix them up in the .po and upload it).

Another problem:
Rosetta does not display "\t" characters in the original string.

For example:  msgid "Option:\t-r\tRosetta"

It would appear in Rosetta's interface as "Option: -r Rosetta", and so
the translator will not even be aware that there are display formatting
characters in the string..

regards,
Valient
