Re: MD5 check failed on extracting shar file whose name has $

[Bruce Korb]

1.  Using non-portable file name characters in your file names
    is a bad choice.  Don't do it.

2.  Using characters that are special to the shell is an even
    worse idea.  White spaces cannot be gotten to work, so
    forget about it.  Parentheses, backquotes, dollar signs
    and so on are almost as bad as white space.
    Really don't do it.

3.  sharutils is almost completely unused anymore.  "tar" and
    "cpio" and other archivers would not care about funny names.
    Fortunately, it turns out to be a trivial fix.  See below.

Thank you for the translation.  I applied your patch.
Please note that it is only temporary, though.  I resync my
"po" directory with the U. Montreal translations:

Thanks - Bruce
