-1

I'd like the idea of using the filesystem (= directory w/ multiple files) 
much better. I'm not in favour of requiring post-install procedures.
The overhead of using multiple files shouldn't be more than a while loop.

+1.

And another +1 for using some common library (not X-specific) for 
*all* i18n stuff.
