Hi,

I tried my hands at it and did the following :

1. About the Perl script ui-backport.pl - I was getting basename
related errors while running this on Windows, so i modified it a bit
(Suggested Patch Attached), so as to make it work in Windows as well.

2. To convert the PO file to Strings files during the build, I created
a Post Build event for LibAbiWord which runs the above Perl script and
converts the PO files to Strings files and then moves them to
(OutDir)\strings. With this we would no longer need the strings folder
in user/wp for the windows build as well. (Patch for this attached as
well)

However what we have done here is made Perl a requirement for the
Windows build, which earlier was not the case.

Thanks,
Prashant
