glibc-2.6 shipped with old POT file; deprecated use of "\v"

Hi,

The glibc-2.6 and glibc-2.6.1 tarballs do not include an updated 
libc.pot file, but instead contain the one for libc-2.5.  When 
releasing a new version, please run 'make libc.pot' in po/.  For 
the translators I've run this myself in yesterday's cvs checkout 
and announced the result as libc-2.6.1.pot.

Four messages in this pot file contain a "\v", whose usage is 
discouraged.  Please consider dividing each of these messages into 
two separate ones.  If a patch for this will not require copyright 
assignment, I will try to make one.

  catgets/gencat.c:119
  elf/sprof.c:89
  locale/programs/locale.c:87
  nss/getent.c:62

Regards,

Benno
