Sounds good. As Claude said, we've already discussed this idea and I think 
this time GnuCash can really benefit from this external translator's 
resource. Having l10n.gnome.org offer the real-time up-to-date *merged* po 
file is a real advantage that relieves us from a lot of work.

Hence, I'll commit po/POTFILES.in into SVN again soon.
