OK, re-enabled now. The main msgfmt command involved is simply:

msgfmt -o /dev/null "$1" 2>&1

I haven't changed this from it's previous incarnation. Are the '-cv'
options useful?

I've just tested it by breaking gtranslator/po/th.po slightly and
committing it. Unfortunately, it committed it without a problem, so the
check isn't working. I think it's a bug in the shell script
(CVSROOT/check-po-commit.sh), but I'll need more time to look into it
more closely.
