msgcat fails with input file 'target/i18n/scala.pot' doesn't contain a header entry with a charset specification

[davewhittaker]

As a part of our build process we concatenate the extracted Scala strings with strings extracted from JS files. It seems like msgcat is expecting to see something like:

msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\n"

At the top of the file. That is what the JS extractor adds and if I add it to the scala.pot file msgcat seems to work correctly.

Any chance you can add something along those lines as a standard header?
