I'm completely fine with scenario no. 2.
OK
Where we seem to diverge is on scenario no. 1: for the vast majority of
Lithuanian visitors "www.openoffice.org" = "www.openoffice.org/lt".
Asking them whether they prefer info in Lithuanian instead of English
will likely be taken as an unnecessary distraction.
IMHO this is the point of our difference.
International websites I've visited in the last 10 minutes:
25 with no hard-redirect *):
Wikipedia, Red Hat, SuSE, Novell, SAP, IBM, Dell, Apple, Oracle, Amazon,
Sony, Renault, Peugeot, Toyota, Mazda, Porsche, Volvo, GM, VW, BMW,
Audi, Seat, DHL, Toshiba, JVC
But 9 with hint:
Amazon, Citroen, Seat, Skoda, UPS, United Nations, Canon, Nikon, Nike
15 with hard-redirects:
Mozilla, Debian, Volkswagen, Ford, Daimler, ING-Diba, HP, Lenovo, Acer,
Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Adidas, Puma, Asics
*) There is no obvious hint to get to a localized website. So, the users
must feel much more distracted than compared with our test webpage.
So, I still think that a hard-redirect is not a widely used solution.
> So my scenario would run like this:
"www.openoffice.org"
--> "www.openoffice.org/lt"
--> (in case the visitor needs something else) dropdown box
--> click
That would mean for some languages we implement a hard-redirect and for
some we display a message to let the user decide.
Maybe it's time to hear more opinions from others or better to really
ask our users, e.g., via the forums. :-)

1. The assumbtion is that the user wants maybe to his "home" website.
Therefore a single but special message is shown:
"www.openoffice.org"
--> message box *)
--> click
--> "www.openoffice.org/lt"
2. Here we don't know where the user want to go. Therefore we offer a
multi-selection via drop-down-box:
"www.openoffice.org/lt"
--> drop-down-box
--> click
--> any other website
