cool thanks (I was thinking about doing that myself :))

Note that I broke `make check` with my --files0-from doc checkin,
as I added NUL rather than @sc{nul} to coreutils.texi.
Note `make check` took about 2 hours due to the very slow msgmerge,
and I checked in anyway as I thought I couldn't break anything
with a simple doc emhancement :)

I'll fix this up ASAP.

cheers,
Pádraig.
