I trust you and your work as well and I believe we have some simple misunderstanding that I don't want to let stand unsolved. Your whole proposal makes a lot of sense. There are things where different opinions are natural and can be discussed. But in general I think it is very good and I am thinking what I have done wrong in our former discussion that makes you so disordered (maybe the wrong word). The only point I and initially Herbert tried to address is the place of the po files. The good thing is I will focus on 4.0.1 and won't disturb you anymore ;-) But if you are interested to solve the misunderstanding on a direct way you know where you can find me.
