I've already had problems when the strings are in the same stringtable
but part of it is in SUBLANG_PORTUGUESE (or
SUBLANG_PORTUGUESE_BRAZILIAN) and the other part is in
SUBLANG_NEUTRAL, therefore I think this is not possible.

I will change winerr_ptg.mc file accordingly in a separate patch after
I translate the file so it can be either committed or rejected at the
committer's will.

Gustavo.
