Well, I forgot that, after reading its documentation again, it's clearly
the way to go, but I don't see how po4a fits with the ddp cvs, store the
po file is a nonsense, and we also don't need the generated docs to keep
track of the versions, do we need at all a cvs for manpages if we use
po4a?

I was also planning to move my translations if possible, but not before
Sarge is out, I don't want translations with missing paragraphs at this
stage of the release process.

So this conversion will take a lot, do you think is still worth to use
my script to generate the webpage with statistics for the moment?

Thanks.
