That's exactly what my "per-list template" patch, which I've been
reworking for every version since 2.0beta1, does. I figure the
I18N stuff will completely make the patch invalid, but "first look
in the list directory" is the easy poor-man's 'list-specific'
hack. The only problem you had with it, Barry, as I remember,
was the minor ugliness of "passing the list around to maketext".
I ended up passing list._full_name just to keep *some* of
the data abstraction in place, but was never really satisfied
with the solution. Maybe there should be a "get list directory"
method.
