And the reason I haven't done it yet (at least for the
system admin guide) is that there are fairly major
changes still going in - I have a complete rewrite of the
menu and mime sections.

So we shouldn't really be translating these yet...  I'm
expecting to replace these sections within the next week.

The gconf section should be OK though.  I suppose we can
switch to xinclude now... I just don't want translators to
be angry when we are still making major changes to these
documents.
