I don't intend to change anything concerning the current status: keep one .mo
file per backend per language. No other .mo files must be loaded by the
frontend. That's the reason why I didn't generate a saneopts.*.mo at all. It's
just an easy way to keep the text files separate.

The only thing that may change is the way the files are generated and
installed (because of the Makefile incompatibilities mentioned on sane-devel
elsewhere). But this will only affect the Makefile, not the resulting files.

I'm open to discussion on any topic :-) As the NLS entry was on the TODO list
that long I just started to implement something.
