Oh, it supports either? Is there a performance difference?

2.0.99 at the moment. The reason behind all this is that I was
building debian source packages, and the .mo files were out of date
with respect to the .po files; our package tools strongly disliked
changed binary files in the source tree. If you think they belong
where they are, though, I'll just be sure to regenerate them in
advance.
