Hmm, I thought of having some nice days without working on anything, of 
course... ;-)

Some additional notes (I've just spent some hours updating my local 
working copy and did not check anything):

Don't expect anything to work, we just have a starting point, not more.

We tried to save as many translations as possible, but there was no 
chance to save them all.

Some of the xml or po files may be totally useless, and some of the 
useless files may be fixed by editing the original multi-language xml 
file and applying the migrating script to the changed files, so tell us 
when you find such files.

For using "Makefile.GNU" instead of the autotools-generated "Makefile",
	make -f Makefile.GNU ...
should work ("-f" is not GNU-specific).

You may alway try
	make -n [-f Makefile.GNU] ...
to see what "make" *would* do (without really executing it), e.g.
	make -n pot
	make -n po-de
	make -n xml-de
	make -n html-de

If something doesn't work (and this *will* happen) don't panic until 
Roman tells you so. ;-)

I don't have any fixed plans for the future, but I think the next steps 
should be
	- changing the image directories structure so that we can use
	  localized images again,
	- merge po files, e.g. one po file per subdirectory.

Your ideas are always welcome...
