pclinuxos-mime-0.4 with simplified locale updates (through intltool)

[Gianvacca]

The original package was a mere container for mime desktop files, most
of them containing the original comment only. As David pointed out a
while ago, updating the desktop files by manually adding message
translations is an error-prone procedure (indeed, many of the mime
desktop files in our cvs are completely screwed up, especially the
hungarian ones).

What I have done was:

1) make them updatable through safe po files
2) implement a script for the generation of these po file (largely
based on David's desktop-update script)

The result is that also a maintainer without any knowledge of intltool
can easily master po and desktop file updates.

If a maintainer wants to add new mime type, he just need to put the
desktop files in their respective folders and launch

make po-update

to obtain the po files containing the new messages.

If a translator translates new portions of a po file and wants these
translations to be included in the desktop files, the maintainer only
needs to replace the old po with the updated one and run

make desktop-rebuild

The rpm included in the package have been already uptated to contain
all the translations which are present in the desktop files of our
CVS.

You can find binary and source rpms in the file section of our group.
