Would help if I had read the error message myself.  First question would
be what exactly is xgettext complaining about.

I don't see any non-ASCII characters there.

xgettext appears to now support finding strings in Lisp files.  Would be
worth checking to see if this works with the scheme variant of lisp.  I
would expect it does.  If so we could dump the intl-scm directory
altogether and use xgettext directly.
