Hi Jan,

Being the original author of the "Localization for developers" I find it 
great that you are taking the lead in this area.

I like and support your proposals 9.2.1: rewrite localize_sl; 9.3.1: 
drop .sdf file format, 9.4.1: separate UI and help; 9.5.1: turn 
localize_sl into makefiles per module; 9.6.1: automatic pootle update.  
Having looked into the source code and makefiles of the localization 
process myself I can only wholeheartedly agree, that it needs a complete 
overhaul.

I am not sure that I understand 9.7.  Is this test that all new po (or 
sdf) files have a valid structure?
