Thanks for the patch.  Two quick comments:

1) please send patches inline (via "git send-email" is best) as it
allows up to comment on the more easily.

2) There is a bunch of patches waiting for me to look at in more detail
(see [1-3]) which alter this area of the code to keep the output nicely
aligned, even with translations.  This patch will need rebased on top of
those at some stage.  So I suggest waiting on those to be merged
(hopefully soon...)
