[Lazarus] Resource strings

[Alex du Plessis]

That is exactly what I did (using Project/Project Options/il8n/enable 
il8n) initially and that is when I got the jumbled (and unwanted) 
strings from it seems my .lpr file. No .mo file associated with my unit 
file that contains the resource strings.  The .rst file for the unit 
file did get created though and using rstconv still works.

I am running on WinXP with the snapshot from 20/02/2008.  I know that 
the enable il8n option worked in previous snapshots, but something seems 
to have changed.  I did a completely new(clean) install of Lazarus using 
a new directory and it still does the same.Maybe something wrong in my 
project file?  It still compiles without a hitch though.
