I'm not opposed to have it replaced. But I don't want to replace a 30% 
solution with a 50% one, but with a 100% one, so I create some pressure on
those that need it to fix it :)

You could e.g. check out subdirs, then check out 
for i in $subdirs; do
  cvs co kde-i18n/$i/$module/$program.po
  test -f ...

I doubt many have kde-i18n checked out and if the script would check out the
needed parts automaticly for them, it would please the users of non-C much 
more (and me for that matter :)
