I think it makes sense to cull these three cases into one for the case we
expect the command to stop without doing anything, but we would still want
to validate the output for three variants in the "config" case.

Also I forgot to say that the new "grep" invocations added to check the
error output might have to be test_i18ngrep.  Please check with

    make GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease test

The configuration variable names and typo in user input should appear
somewhere in the output for any real locale, but I think gettext-poison
would throw these away.

By the way, should the following two entries make any difference, and if
so how?

	[diff]

        	dirstat = unknown,0,lines
                dirstat = 0,lines,unknown
