I think it's better style to have a period at the end, and Windows does
it. Wine has one such status bar message with two sentences, only the
first with a period (oleview.rc:110, "Quit the application. Prompts to
save changes"). It would look inconsistent if that were the only message
to have a period at the end. But of course, messages can live without it.
