As a meta-point, one thing our experience with trying to put together multiple files in different languages into programs suggests that putting the information telling us which language a given file supposed to be in should be with the file, not with the reference to the file (and not nowhere). That said, I think Matthew's tool suggestion is fills a practical need and until someone implements that, Matthias's solution should work great.
