OK, I guess we'll have to test that.

Just now I tried "xgettext --output=- --language=glade
src/ui/gui/crosstabs.ui" and the output looked very similar to
that of "xgettext --output=- src/ui/gui/crosstabs.glade".  So I
think that xgettext will work OK, since the UI format is similar
enough to the Glade format, but it needs to be told that they are
Glade files.
