Good.

Yes, that was an oversight on my part. Thanks.

Strange - that's definitely not what we want.

The syntax for including folders is rather strange (as it considers a
folder name itself somehow a pattern, too). I also would like to move
things around so that the subsurface.mo files end up in the same folders
as the corresponding gtk-related .mo files. That seems much cleaner.

I ran out of time yesterday evening, but insomnia appears to come to the
rescue...
