+The intltool collection can be used to do these things:
+
+ o Extract translatable strings from various source files (.xml.in,
+   .glade, .desktop.in, .server.in, .oaf.in).
+
+ o Collect the extracted strings together with messages from traditional
+   source files (.c, .h) in po/$(PACKAGE).pot.
+
+ o Merge back the translations from .po files into .xml, .desktop and
+   .oaf files.  This merge step will happen at build resp. installation
+   time.
+
+The intltool package has a script, intltoolize, which copies the various
+scripts and does the other magic to your module. So users building
+from tarballs don't need intltool, only folks building from cvs.
+(This is modeled on gettextize.)
