Idea: each FAQ as its own xml file

I just looked at our translations of the Fink FAQ, and it looks like
some languages have fallen behind. In trying to sort it all out, I
became frustrated with the current source (.xml) file layout: each FAQ
entry is really a self-contained item that may be changed (or added or
removed), but we only have a single source file for the whole
FAQ. Would it be better to have each as a separate file (which the
build system joins together)? That way when committing a change, it is
clear which FAQ item was updated and one could note that "this
corresponds to english rev 1.38" to make it easy to keep things in
sync. This cannot be done now, because a single new revision could
involve many changed FAQs. It might be easy for some to be translated
quickly, but not others, but keeping track of corresponding revision
numbers requires knowing that they are all done.
