Yeah it's valuable, but I'm just optimizing this for the time I can
spent on it, I already have a patch series that has these things. It's
much easier if I can:

 1. Apply C translations
 2. Apply Shell translations
 3. Apply Translation documentation / po/* stuff

Then later:

 4. Add actual gettext support

But not have to deal with bits of #3 while I do #1 and #2. That's all.

Since hopefully we'll get to #3 relatively quickly I think that's OK.
