So, on the GCC side, http://gcc.gnu.org/translation.html can now be
updated to say that .tar.bz2 files for snapshots should be submitted (and
we may no longer need to generate .gz files for snapshots) - as well as
correcting the inaccurate presumption that the release tarball submission
is an automatic rather than a manual process on the TP side (though the
3.3 release *should* be submitted, and provide the current .pot file
replacing the snapshot one there, and unlike the 3.2.3 release replace the
distribution URL with that for the 3.3 release). The 3.3 gcc.pot file
corresponds accurately with the 3.3 source code and should be a good basis
for translators to produce up to date translations for the 3.3.1 release.
