[XML-SIG] CHARSET and Python 2.3

[Andrew Dalke]

The _xmlplus package doesn't work under Python 2.3 where it works under =20=

2.2.
It appears to be because of the gettext entry, which contains a =20
"charset:"
of "CHARSET", which 2.3 doesn't like.

Details below.

# If I change the 'CHARSET' to 'Latin-1' I have no problem.

This 4Suite.mo file in CVS also has 'CHARSET', so I assume there
is still a problem.

Neither Google nor alltheweb found references to this exception
message.
