It strikes me that the way to avoid sentence construction is to have
each enum reloption declare a string that it uses to list the values it
accepts. So for example we would have

+#define GIST_OPTION_BUFFERING_ENUM_DEF { \
+ { "on", GIST_OPTION_BUFFERING_ON }, \
+ { "off", GIST_OPTION_BUFFERING_OFF }, \
+ { "auto", GIST_OPTION_BUFFERING_AUTO }, \
+ { (const char *) NULL, 0 } \
+}
+
+ GistBufferingValidMsg = gettext_noop("Valid values are \"on\", \"off\", and \"auto\".");

I think that's the most contentious point on this patch at this point
(though I may be misremembering).
