CatKeysEditor is not using Locale Kit classes to read/write catkeys.

The Locale Kit has some support for editing catalogs:
http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/headers/private/locale/EditableCatalog.h

Maybe this should be used instead of custom code. This would add the following features:

• Loading of binary catalog files in the tool instead of just catkeys
• Saving of binary catalog files or other formats
• Making sure all the escaping possibilities are handled (", \ and \x don't seem to be processed in the current code)

Maybe the Haiku API is too limited, in that case it could be extended to support more features.

I may or may not have known that feature exists :P It should indeed be
using that, yeah
