Fine! We'll merge your new code in and use it for the GTK2 base.

We should also drop the old xml_i18n approach. Supporting it with
#ifdefs is not really necessary, cause everyone who wants to use gCvs
on an older system has to install lot of other dependent stuff. So
installing xml_i18n also wouldn't make the live harder for them.
And modern systems already have xml_i18n installed...

So please commit your changes!
