I just sent a fix to the fortune-developer that helps me out with another 
thing. It enables fortune to print out line that can be formatted from the 
commandline like the following:
Tip Nr. 123 from file "Gimp-Tips".

The thing with i18n could really be better implemented in fortune than in an 
wrapper arund it. The code is very readable, so i think, I have to patch 
fortune rather that wrapping some perl-code around it...

But OK, I will just implement it now, hoping that it gets into fortune soon.
