I do know how i18n works... I'm also a member of the Gnome i18n coordination
team. :)

The preferred approach would use a custom Anewt-specific gettext domain.
Translations for various languages should be added as .po files then.
However, before we proceed with such things, I prefer to split the current
Anewt directory layout into various pieces, e.g. something like this:

 - Anewt/
   - modules/
     - core/
     - form/
     - page/
     - .../
   doc/
   - scripts/
   - i18n/
   - Makefile
   - HACKING
   - ...

Comments?

Most of this is possible.
