I was not clear enough. I meant to make the PO files available 
for translators in webmin web site. An i18n coordinator will have to 
convert them back to be included for Jamie.

So the translator will have both options: to use PO files or to stay
with old way. IMHO, PO format will help to attract more translators,
since many projects use it.
