Make shell command and its option rc file options instead of hardcoded strings. This allows users to modify the shell command that execute "editors". Two new options appear in rc file: - shell.path (default to "/bin/sh") - shell.options (default to "-c") These options can only be changed from the rc file, not at runtime. Tests are made to check that shell.path is not empty and lead to an executable file.

Translators create a translation by creating the appropriate .po file in the /po
directory. Please see the gettext info pages for an overview and instructions.
Basically: Add your language code to the   ALL_LINGUAS=   line in configure.in,
then get started translating the strings in your ??.po file.
Note: The strings for debug output is intentionally not marked for translation.

To update a specific translation, one may use make update-po PO=[lang]  (ie. make update-po PO=fr).

To update all translation files, use make update-po.
You should only use it when needed (before a release or when there were many
changes in source code).



Helper scripts:

gen_translations_stats.sh	generate statistics about translations
regen_potfiles.sh		generate a patch to sync POTFILES.in with current source files
