Hello,

I'm done rewritting the documentation (I hope). So there is three
pages for you to review, please:

 - po4a.7: Introduction to the project
   https://github.com/mquinson/po4a/blob/master/doc/po4a.7.pod
   
 - po4a: the doc of the all in one tool
   https://github.com/mquinson/po4a/blob/master/po4a
   
 - po4a-gettexize: description of the gettextization process
   https://github.com/mquinson/po4a/blob/master/po4a-gettextize

I plan to convert them into the PO files for translation tomorrow or
something.

Sorry for the extra burden it will induce for translators, but I
really hope that this brings an improvement for the users. I tried to
make the text clear and straightforward but still complete. More
compact, ie shorter so that more people will actually read the doc
without getting lost in the verbosity. I changed some paragraphs
trying to provide a formal specification (in particular regarding the
config file) to a list of examples that the users can use as starter
kits.

One TODO remains at the end of the po4a(1) page, because I'm not
convinced of the EXAMPLE section here.

I would really appreciate if you could help me improving this text
before we start translating it.

Thanks for your time, 
Mt.

PS: I fear that I'm getting close to the end of my dev rush on po4a.
Several days of doc rewritting after 2 weeks of test writting start to
feel somewhat punitive :) But I do like the result, I think.
