The only library that I could still think of is glade, 
http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/glade/po/ (there is a module named glade3 in 
CVS as well and I have no idea which one is the current one)

You can call "make install" *inside* the po/ directory.

If the translations in the library files change, then we're screwed. Nothing 
else. That's what the "GNOME language teams" are for -- they should agree on 
*one* translation, and then *stick* to it. And if anyone inside there wants 
to change a translation, they better have some darn good reason to do so. 
Feel free to seriously flame your language team if they change a translation 
without a pressing need to do so ;-)

Your step-by-step description is very helpful. Should this go into a specific 
file in CVS? I think this would help others quite nicely.
