It might be my lack of understanding, but I don't see why we need po4a 
over GNU gettext.  It seems to be the same kind of stuff.  Can we not 
use the msg*(1) commands from gettext to maintain multi language man 
pages?  How are other projects do this (or do they)?

My reason for wanting to remove it is it appears as a frontend to 
gettext, which seems like a pointless requirement to me.  If it's doing 
something more, that's just my misunderstanding.
