	Well, we're going to have an enormous number of strings, I
believe. I think we should probably have one .po per top-level template
directory that we have now. Otherwise we'd be reading in a huge file
for every page load, which would be a big problem under mod_perl (which
would never release that memory).

	That is, unless we just pre-compile translated templates, in
which case it could all be in one file (but I think having such a huge
file would still be a problem for some text editors).

	No, we should avoid it if we can, I think. The standard
%quant() system used by most Maketext implementations seems better to
me.
