+Subject: [PATCH] migrate from custom itstool to builtin msgfmt for creating
+ translated XML
+
+gettext upstream has supported this for a very long time (since 0.19.7
+via commit b3c2a5a242c36fbbaa0c5b17f975d6c638598a23, released in 2015),
+and itstool is (mostly) a legacy of the time before gettext had proper
+support for these sorts of use cases.
+
+This is similar to the state of intltool, which is described at
+https://wiki.gnome.org/MigratingFromIntltoolToGettext
+
+During the port from autotools to meson, the legacy use of itstool was
+faithfully translated to meson in the only way possible: by jumping
+through hoops to run ninja inside ninja in order to generate the .mo
+files for itstool, because meson's i18n module used a flawed design and
+there was no "real" target to create those files, only a .PHONY
+run_target which other rules cannot depend on.
+
+Although meson 0.60.0 added support for real targets for the built .mo
+files, this changed the rules for output filenames, breaking the script.
+
+But msgfmt does not care, and anyways comes with builtin meson functions
+for convenient use with XML files. So let's take this opportunity to
+drop legacy dependencies and use the modern, builtin tooling, which
+fixes this bug as a side effect.
+
+Fixes #170
