You should probably use intltool 0.31 (or CVS version).  I don't seem
to have problems with it in merging translations into old redraw.xml
(I have old CVS check-out, and GCompris is pretty heavy for dial-up ;)
-- it has a similar case of newline in string, and it contains
substantial fixes for XML handling.

intltool 0.31 tarball available on ftp.gnome.org has some problems
(missing mkinstalldirs, Makefile with wrong path to it, etc.),
so you may want to try my own version at (just regenerated with "make
distcheck" using CVS HEAD at 0.31 time):

I hope this helps =E2=80=94 if not, be sure to report a bug in Bugzilla, and
CC me, so I can fix it (be also sure to do it fast, since I'm leaving
for no-computer area in a couple of days).

Cheers,
Danilo
