Just to add a bit:

Because of the identified need to have separate image files for each
language in the manuals, we have to make sure the checkout and build
processes don't become unnecessarily burdensome. Most people would only be
interested in one or two languages.

However, we have to consider the integrated help function - I suppose we
want to build DHIS2 with all "help languages", which will be much smaller,
since the images are not included.

So what would be a good way to achieve both the goals above at the same time
- ideally also without too complex pom.xml (Maven 1.x allowed for scripting
such as foreach loops through Jelly, something similar may be possible with
Antrun or Beanshell in Maven 2??).
