Thanks for the patch. But I think the support for all documented file
formats in xgettext is important enough that it warrants a test failure.

Yes I know that some other missing features, such as of Java or Tcl support,
yield a SKIP rather than FAIL. But xgettext on Glade input files is less
"exotic".

The FAILure notice is meant as a reminder to the distributor to look again
whether he really wants to distribute binaries with such a limitation.
It is still the distributor's decision and responsibility to do so if he
wants. But the FAILure serves as a warning.

I plan to rewrite that support to use libxml2 instead of expat; this should
reduce the number of prerequisite packages by 1. (libxml2 is used in so many
places.)
