Which runs on cygwin much faster as on msys because of cygwin1.dll's 
internal caching :-)  This is why I had taken the cygwin sh.

the appended script may help to reduce time because it has the basic 
structure and creates already CMakeLists.txt for the UI message catalogs.

The l10n-kde4 project in relation to other projects in svn does not have 
any CMakeLists.txt added by default.  If they would be created/updated 
and commited nightly on the svn server we would have no need for an 
additional script.
