We have three options on when to extract language strings from the
.ldf files:
1. static (we extract and distribute with lyx)
2. at configure time.
3. live from a running LyX.
These are no listed in my reverse prefered order.
If we could have a nice automatic-interface to 3. that would imho be
nicest, 2. is also almost equally nice and 1. should not be considered
at all.

Does \^ have special meaning in portugues? Or is it the regular accent
that insetlatexaccent is able to handle?

I think we can solve this. AFAIK 8bit chars are not used in .ldf files
only (La)TeX accent commands, and we can handle those.

Fully automatic please...
