+about.el.lang has an extra space in line 73. This cannot be predicted by  
+the script, I can write the code that strips spaces, but who knows what  
+can be found in other files... Please remove it. ;)

+I cannot predict neither the team list nor the last translator. Well, I  
+_can_ but I think it is not worth to as all PO files are transient. If you  
+have any other proposal about the last translator just put it in the  
+script (it's in the place where Filip propose to put it). ;)
