This could use fputs() too, moving the stderr to the last argument.

I think the _() thingies around the strings are for gettext
(https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Mark-Keywords.html).
This would break it if there are existing translations, since the
msgids change.

More practically, I doubt anyone is translating these tools. IMO we
should remove the gettext stuff unless we find traces of translations.

Whether stuff is translated seems inconsistent too.
