For the apacheds this is true, but for the shared I started a new block
of numbers for each submodule (01xxx, 02xxx, ...). Maybe a refactoring
of the apacheds is needed.

? ATM only errors should be i18n-tyified. This means only ERROR/FATAL
may happen. All the other things are not yet translated. Furthermore a
log messages indicates clearly of which level it is. Do I miss something?
