If everything works as I think it should, we should be able to merge 
translations into the new po files, so I don't really expect any data 
loss. Better to be safe than sorry though.

In the long run, this will be good for localizers, especially for those 
who will start a new translation. the filr has become quite big, and 
with split files it is easier to find your way around, to choose what to 
translate first etc.

I am currently tearing my hair out trying to find out how to generate 
the po files un he appropriate subdirs. I have searched for any 
documenation on this for hours now, but I can't really find anything 
that makes sense. All the guides assume that you either have a teeny 
tiny software or that you have been eating automake for breakfast for 10 
years or so.

The programming part is pretty easy and already taken care of.
