Making doc translators' life easier



Here's a little hack I use to check which of the docs changed since I
translated them and what has changed.

Installation:
 - copy the script to "documentation" directory
 - modify it:
	change the "$lang" variable to your language

	remove the "checkdiff" function invocations for the documents you
		don't have translated and/or add the ones I haven't
		translated :-)
 - add <!-- original version: N.nn --> to the translated files (N.nn is the
   revision of the english version when you translated the file)

Usage:
 - run ./docheck to see which files changed
 - run ./docheck -d | less to see what has changed in what files

have fun :-}

Marcin
