Packages updates and i18n

[Jasper Huijsmans]

ok, here's what I did until now:

* run 'glib-gettextize'

* add the following to configure.ac:

GETTEXT_PACKAGE=xfce4-panel
AC_SUBST(GETTEXT_PACKAGE)
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(GETTEXT_PACKAGE,"$GETTEXT_PACKAGE",[Name of default
gettext domain])

ALL_LINGUAS="nl"
AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT

* and add po/Makefile.in to AC_OUTPUT().

* add po to the subdirs in Makefile.am

* make a new header my_gettext.h to which I copied the
/usr/share/gettext/gettext.h header and added definitions for _() and
N_(). I then added it to global.h, so all relevant files include it.

* add this to main() before gtk_init():

#ifdef ENABLE_NLS
    bindtextdomain (GETTEXT_PACKAGE, LOCALEDIR);
    bind_textdomain_codeset (GETTEXT_PACKAGE, "UTF-8");
    textdomain (GETTEXT_PACKAGE);
#endif

    gtk_set_locale ();

* run ./autogen.sh

* in the po/ directory run 'make xfce4-panel.pot' to create the pot
file. And copy that to nl.po and make some translations.

* Now running a normal 'make && make install" creates a translated
xfce4-panel.

Somehow not all translated strings get replaced, so I presume I'm not
including config.h and my_gettext.h correctly everywhere.

Anything else I should have done?
