jpayne@68: Applies a command to all translations of a translation catalog.
jpayne@68: The COMMAND can be any program that reads a translation from standard
jpayne@68: input.  It is invoked once for each translation.  Its output becomes
jpayne@68: msgexec's output.  msgexec's return code is the maximum return code
jpayne@68: across all invocations.
jpayne@68: .PP
jpayne@68: A special builtin command called '0' outputs the translation, followed by a
