Oh, while you're mentioning it :-) I copied over extractrc to the
kdevelop distribution, so it should be installed with any 1.4
installation in the $KDEDIR/bin path. What it's needed for is that it
makes a dummy rc.cpp file out of the appname.rc file containing the XML
code for constructing the menubars/toolbars. Basically it's needed to
get the menuentries that you define there into the po file so they can
get translated.
