I recently realized that adding the locale files to the installer
added a dependency on the gettext package in order to build the
installer (inno-soft dies if the locale folder is not created).

I was curious what people thought.  We currently pre-bake the man
pages and store them in the patch queue to avoid forcing people to
have asciidoc on their Windows machine.  Should we do the same thing
for translations?

Pros: Easier for everyone to build installers, less dependencies
Cons: The translations could easily lag the source

I'm guessing the failure mode for lagging translations is just that
fewer strings are translated for you at runtime, so it's not fatal.
But I know that the man page patch has often been neglected for long
stretches of time.
