Re: .po file lexer uses static variable

If anybody received my previous empty message, I'm sorry.  I messed up
with my mail client ending up sending the message before writing it...
Fortunately, it seems to have been stopped at some point, so maybe
nobody got it.

Trying to fix this I ended up writing a new and a little more complete
lexer.  It behaves like the old one but follows a little better the
language like defined by Gettext[1] and as understood by Gettext's
`msgftm` tool; and provides a few more styles [2].

However, I'm not 100% sure about how I dealt with what used the static
variable before.  The thing is that there are 3 string styles, and the
chosen one depends on what precedes it, which can be lines before, and
moreover that is separated by the default style.  For example, given the
code below:

	1. msgid "foo"
	2. "foo string continues"
	3. msgstr "bar"
	4.
