[Lazarus] Resource strings and newline

[Václav Valíček]

In my opinion, ti should be solved... I am adding \n into po files 
translations of licences, where the new line is needed. But If I need 
linebreak in resourcestring, it's not really comfortable to replace 
every linebreak with %s and Format() param - it decreases readablity of 
file... In my apps, I am using gettext ported from some gnu library for 
delphi, where translation is done with _('text to translate') function 
(which accepts Format() params too) and there is no problem with \n in 
text... Another advantage is that I don't have to look for 
resourcestring and check if it is not used in another part of 
application, but I have to use external tool to regenerate translations....
