It's in CVS for french now.

Yes it's a good idea. Special cases already include the main french Makefile
since index.html.fr does not exist yet.

Yes, they would help. I'll prepare this weekend a small database of french
translations and translators with Perl. I hope i'll then be able, for example,
to generate automatically mail with diff to translator when a file change...

Mostly, everything is working great... !
