modernising Geary's translation system and Damned Lies

[Michael Gratton <mike vee net>]

Hi all,

We're planning on modernising Geary's translation and build systems for 
the next release, and I wanted to get some feedback on what's the best 
way to do this from the perspective of Damned Lies.

The plan is currently:

- Switch UI from intltool to gettext in the next week or so
- Switch the general build to Meson once its ready in a few months
- Switch Help from xml2po to itstool or maybe gettext (maybe later?)

Do any of these require configuration updates in Damned Lies, or should 
it just pick up the chances from the repo automatically? If the former, 
what's the process for getting Damned Lies' config updated? An email 
here? A ticket in b.g.o?

Also, what's the current best tooling for translating Mallard help 
docs? Is it possible to use gettext's ITS support, or is yelp-tools 
really required?

Cheers!
//Mike
