internationalisation work can now begin (Re: cvs commit: www progress.html)

My apologies to the project and Alexey,

After stumbling upon setlocale(3), I found a reference to catopen(3) and 
childs, and finally figured out there is plenty of message catalog 
support in FreeBSD (we don't need a gettext substitute, we already have 
one!).

So we can start translation of the libh output.

This will not be easy, but I think it will be a good thing. I will start 
taking a look at how to do this soon, but if anyone has suggestions, I'm 
a taker.

One of the first things to do would be to create a _() macro that would 
use catgets() to return messages wherever necessary, and that might 
include the .cd.cc files which undoubtedly cause a big translation 
problem.

Same for any TCL script.

Also note that I don't intend to make boot floppies carry all 
languages. :) That will have to be language-specific distros.

<sigh> I thought I had avoided that issue elegantly. ;)
