Localizing database textarea fields using gettext chokes on \r\n.

I'm trying to avoid changing my database around to accommodate
localized strings. I'm putting all strings from the database into a
holding file (db_messages.py) which get dumped into my django.po file.

The problem is that textarea fields contain "\r\n" as line endings,
and running something like:

_("This is line 1\r\nThis is line 2")

through makemessages will get you an error:

Error: errors happened while running xgettext on db_messages.py
[snip]/db_messages.py:10: internationalized messages should not
contain the `\r' escape sequence

If I add the \r manually to the .po file, the messages will compile
without issue.

Has anyone else bumped into this?
