Hi Frans,

this French translation was managed with po-debiandoc for woody.
In a nl subdirectory, you can run
  $ debiandoc2pot ../en/release-notes.en.sgml > release-notes.pot
Then work as usual with your PO file, and eventually run
  $ po2debiandoc ../en/release-notes.en.sgml release-notes.nl.po > release-notes.nl.sgml
to generate the translated document.
This is not automatic because I did not want to add a build dependency
against po-debiandoc.

Please note that po4a is going to supersede po-debiandoc, but I did not
yet check if the SGML module can be used on this document.

And remember to checkout the sarge branch ;)
