I didn't really think about organization at that point, just that KDE 4.0 
code shouldn't have any trace of handling obsolete PO format.

As for the organization, I would say on the contrary: l10n should contain 
obsolete PO format. New xgettext extracts messages into new POT format, 
then our special script converts it into obsolete POT format, and puts 
that in l10n/templates. Translators go about happily, as nothing has 
changed, filling their respective directories with obsolete POs. However, 
upon installation, one would have to run the script to get new POs from 
obsolete ones, and only then send it to msgfmt.

This conversion calamity loses some point if KBabel 3.5 series can easily 
be made into cooperation with new PO format, but it does allow many older 
KBabels to be used.
