=head2 Output details:

=over 4

=item B<-u>, B<--unescaped>

Disables conversion from B<Maketext> format to B<Gettext> format -- i.e.
leave all brackets alone.  This is useful if you are also using the
B<Gettext> syntax in your program.

=item B<-g>, B<--gnu-gettext>

Enables GNU gettext interoperability by printing C<#, perl-maketext-format>
before each entry that has C<%> variables.
