so, is that basically the desired format we'd like to have for external 
plugins as well? i could start something like rk.i18n.scan(), then. apart from 
the .pot file and the new arguments to XML elements, what parts else will need 
changes?

not entirely sure how to do it yet. but things will fall in place.

yes, that would be my guess. from an rkwarddev perspective, the best way would 
be to split by .pluginmap here.

so "label" is omitted when "no18n_" is used? is it "no18n_" or "noi18n_"?

i'm thinking about the best way to get the new arguments into the rkwarddev 
functions; i think the relevant functions will get a new "i18n" argument, 
which takes a list with named elements "context" and "comment", and if it is 
simply set to FALSE, "label" will be set to "no18n_label" or "noi18n_label", 
whatever it is.

will we keep using the folder structure introduced to get my first clumsy 
approach going (i.e., the "po" directory)?
