Summary: translation of --help broken

Initial Comment:
Hi there,

looks like the translation of the help is somewhat broken in general. At least for LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 and check_dhcp, check_disk, where I can confirm the problem. 

The following Bugreport we got against our debian package:

On my french system :

Message:
This is caused by "" matching the header of the translation files. I'll
have to see if I can remove the part that matches in the po files, but it
seems this can be fixed by setting UT_EXTRA_OPTS and UT_EXTRA_OPTS_NOTES to
NULL instead of "" in plugins/utils.h

I'm not sure if this solution will work on all systems though as
gettext(3) doesn't mention anything about the string being set to null...
I'll have to check that.
