Re: A simple script to manage GnomeGlossary.gnumeric

[Christian Rose <menthos menthos com>]

This is great! Thanks Simos!
However, I have some comments:
Could the script be changed to *not* use an additional module like
XML::Twig? That would make it really portable and even more useful.
XML::Twig on my system required XML::Parser, and XML::Parser required
expat, and then I lost my patience and gave up.

xml-i18n-tools is fairly self-contained, maybe one could have a look
there how thwy solved xml extraction. Also, I think this script should
be merged in the future with xml-i18n-tools - that would simply rock. A
one-stop resource that can also be used for managing glossaries!

CC:ing this to the xml-i18n-tools developers...
