Sure. It took me 2 hours to find out why "he" did not work. And some more 
time to convinve the build and josm to accept the renaming. There is one 
other language with same problem, but I do not remember which.

Yes, but it did not clean, as the temporary files have different names 
now.

I can live with b for some time, but not without a. But generally I think 
this should be fixed in gettext-ant-tasks directly.

Will they do this? Generally I like the ant-task based variant more than 
the old method, but it must work, that's clear.
