Sure.  I was thinking once we were happy with the page we could make the 
"Language Translations" link on the sidebar go to this page.  But, I 
agree we should make these additional links too.

I knew you would ask that!  The way the "Exclude strings with source" 
works is that the msgid must be derived from ONLY the items listed in 
order to get excluded.

So, if you use this exclusion pattern:
hbci|help-topics-index.scm|guile-strings.c

For example, the msgid "Amount" is *not* excluded even though it 
contains "hbci" and "guile-strings", see below.  Why?  Because it 
contains something else besides the exclusion pattern, for example, 
"business-gnome.scm".  If a msgid is derived from anything else besides 
an the exclusion patterns, it is not excluded.

#. src/business/business-gnome/business-gnome.scm
#: src/business/business-gnome/glade/payment.glade.h:2
#: src/gnome/reconcile-list.c:209
#: src/import-export/generic-import.glade.h:12
#: src/import-export/hbci/glade/hbci.glade.h:13
#: src/import-export/qif-import/qif.glade.h:4
#: intl-scm/guile-strings.c:553
#: intl-scm/guile-strings.c:1069 intl-scm/guile-strings.c:1467
#: intl-scm/guile-strings.c:1519 intl-scm/guile-strings.c:1617
#: intl-scm/guile-strings.c:1741 intl-scm/guile-strings.c:1959
#: intl-scm/guile-strings.c:2773 intl-scm/guile-strings.c:2811
#: intl-scm/guile-strings.c:2873 intl-scm/guile-strings.c:2925
#: intl-scm/guile-strings.c:3023 intl-scm/guile-strings.c:3147
msgid "Amount"


So, anywhere you see "guile-strings.c", there is by definition going to 
be another source code listing.  Thus, excluding "guile-strings.c" 
doesn't in itself actually remove any msgids.

We don't have a place for "scripts"?
