  I agree that the way I pointed out above is the best for console
message definition as you (more or less) easily see if the message
would be too long when being printed on the console by mplayer.

  IMHO we should settle on the following and maybe write it down
somewhere:

#define MSGTR_Short "short"
#define MSGTR_Long \ 
"Long long long long long long long long long long long long scentence\n"
#define MSGTR_Multiline \ 
"Line 1\n"
"Line 2\n"
