However, I find its location in the CVS tree quite strange. Why isn't
it under tools? Seems a pretty minor problem but this needs to be
fixed, imho.
Will we completely drop out fdisks and partitioner or keep it as an
"expert" option?

I'm OK with this. The new countrychooser is able to work concurrently
with the "old" languagechooser anyway.

- BIDI support
Adding support for languages needing BiDirectional support
in newt, which will probably allow Arabic translations to
be usable (and a possible Hebrew translation, I think)
- i18n
More languages : 24 are currently over 50% in HEAD. Catalan may
come if I piss off Jordi Mallach enough. Turkish was supposed
to climb but does not. Other are really anecdotical.
