* runtime/plasma/scriptengines/javascript/bind_i18n.h with 4 strings

either *.h needs to be added to the typeglob Messages.sh or the strings need 
to be moved to a .cpp file

* workspace/plasma/dataengines/soliddevice/soliddeviceengine.cpp with 5 
strings
* kdebase/workspace/plasma/dataengines/soliddevice/soliddeviceengine.cpp with 
176 I18N_NOOP

this needs a Messages.sh file

* kdebase/workspace/plasma/dataengines/time/timesource.cpp with 15 I18N_NOOP

this also needs a Messages.sh file

kdebase/workspace/plasma/scriptengines/python/examples/applets/pyclock/contents/ui/analog_clock_config.ui
kdebase/workspace/plasma/scriptengines/ruby/examples/applets/clock/contents/ui/analog_clock_config.ui

as examples, i'm less concerned about these but for correctness they should be 
extracted as well. as examples, they should probably be added right to the 
package themselves. these packages, as examples for others to use, are really 
not well suited to i18n since scripted widgets that would be shipped alongside 
a bunch of c++ which is compiled and installed and using kde's l10n module for 
translations operate completely differently from 3rd party widgets (which 
include their translations directy inside the package)

i'm really unsure which is the "right" direction here, but they are just 
examples and not actually code that's used by anyone. really, they ought to 
not be in kdebase at all but some other module for source code examples using 
KDE technology.
