Cool. I didn't know that.

What's easier?
- Set the -l option with language list of 20 languages
  and _maintain_ it. I always have to set the list up for
  all currently translated languages.
- Set the "not yet available" option to exclude languages
  with one or two languages. (I mean for example the "xx" language
  here. It never makes sense to distribute it)
Hm?

That would be a good solution.

Replace the configure.in.bot by another.

Yes, this is really much needed. :)
I was currently working on this for cvs2dist.
