Obviously, I think the answer to this question is "yes", and as I've said before I'm happy to do the work to make the changeover as smooth as possible. I don't expect the translation teams to have to go in and change the build system after I've finished fixing up the structure. As a point of interest, this work will include me fixing the webbuild script as necessary, and also any bits of "make release" that need taking care of. > At this point, I think you are right.

I'll stress at this point that the majority of them might *not* need to do this. But I don't want to explicitly design out potentially useful functionality for others when it's really pretty easy to make sure that functionality is designed in to the system.
