Ok :)

Still, I'll post a list later in the day, once I see what I've got, so that 
anyone who is still making patches will know what already has patches against 
it.  I've long ago come to the conclusion that paragraphed documentation is 
way less merge friendly than C++ sources line-by-line nature is.

It's really encouraging to see how much documentation is being committed by 
other teams too.  KDE documentation is coming along nicely.  If we (the 
writers) take care in the future, the work done now will be a huge boost to 
the next release, and the next after that too.

Heh, check_gui_texts is just plain cool.
