Previous versions of the GNU Portability Library, and versions of the GNU
C Library as released with various Linux distributions, used strings no
longer present in the current version of the GNU Portability Library.
When used on systems with those strings, Star Traders could not provide
appropriate translations. This patch fixes that problem.
If Native Language Support is disabled, the program does not use the GNU
Gettext library and thus all strings are in ASCII format: enhanced Curses
is not needed in such situations.
In particular, mention the Clang LLVM compiler, require POSIX.1-2008
instead of POSIX.1-2001, and require libiconv if the GNU Gettext library
requires it.
The FTP protocol is all but dead (even though it is still supported by
The ZAP Group which distributes Star Traders). Demote such URLs below
the secure HTTP versions.
Change the whitespacing, padding and word-wrapping of many strings and
labels, add the standard header comment, correct a few obvious spelling
and translation mistakes, replace 'quotes' and `quotes' with «quotes» and
tabs with spaces.
All translations of Star Traders are present as stored on the Translation
Project website at http://translationproject.org/latest/trader/

The Debian menu system has been deprecated for some time. Debian Policy
4.0.1 now states (in Section 9.6) that "packages installing a Free
Desktop entry must not also install a Debian menu system entry".
Without this file, ./configure fails and the ./build-aux/bootstrap script
needs to be run again. This latter script has been rerun with the same
inputs as commit 2dc2bfb9bf.
These files have been created by running ./build-aux/bootstrap with
Gnulib as at commit d93b573ba772a334a83dac971c3004f1fed8a8a5 (with a date
stamp of Wed Aug 23 14:45:58 2017 -0700), Autoconf 2.69, Automake 1.15.1,
Gettext 0.19.8.1 and pkg-config 0.29.
