Correct.

You can't use a function call to initialize static variables (i.e. 
global variables or "static" local variables) or any array (whether
static or automatic).

I was thinking about it from the xgettext side (i.e. whether xgettext
recognises concatenated string literals split over multiple lines)
rather than from the C side, so I completely overlooked that issue.

>From the C side, using:

	const char *help_text = _("...");

inside main() would work. That may be preferable to putting a large
string literal inside the fputs() call.
