You're right - it's a matter of reuse, but I can probably get that even 
better with some more autoconf scripting, too (eg. have 
configure/automake/whoever fill in the appropriate section into the 
Makefile). Thanks for making me rethink the current layout!

I'm not quite sure about getting the languages automatically - after 
all, we also don't just import *.cc. But the impact is smaller here, so 
I wouldn't argue too much about that detail.
Any other opinions/preferences on this?

One issue: msgmerge doesn't seem to exist on Solaris (is it GNU?), so I 
can't rely on that, but it's a start.

Thank you!
