After reading through that old -devel thread I was rather thinking of  
checking xgettext to extract strings directly from the scheme files.  
Maybe today this works well enough so that we might in fact throw away  
guile-strings.c completely - I don't know. I will give xgettext and  
scheme files a closer look over the next days and I'll report back any  
findings.
