additionally i tried:

_("This is just a slightly longe
  text for demonstration purpose");

This results in the same behaviour as with C the string literal
includes all whitespace characters including \n \t or whatever...
Thatfor these are also part of the key extracted by xgettext.
This is a horror to read in the .po file and makes the stuff 
difficult to translate.
And it is for sure inacceptable if the string will be used for
other purpose than write it within a HTML ducoment.
