Sample MO file

As reported in Debian bug #714214 [1], Jakub Wilk discovered that translate toolkit misunderstands little-endian MO files. He writes:

I crafted a little-endian MO file with revision 0.42. translate-toolkit
refuses to open it, saying the revision is 42.0:

from translate.storage.mo import mofile
mofile(open('messages.mo'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/translate/storage/mo.py", line 147, in init
self.parsestring(inputfile)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/translate/storage/base.py", line 729, in parsestring
newstore.parse(storestring)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/translate/storage/mo.py", line 262, in parse
raise base.ParseError("""Unable to process version %d.%d MO files""" % (version_maj, version_min))
translate.storage.base.ParseError: 'Unable to process version 42.0 MO files'
