Although I agree that using Python would make things easier for
internationalisation, in the meantime I'm attaching a patch to complete
the current package's i18n support.

A few notes:

* The current sources already had gettext calls in
debian/local/Failsafe/failsafeXinit. Apart from modifying some of those
calls, basically what remained to be done was to extract the strings
from that source file and put them in a POT template. This POT template
is now generated during the package build, so that it can be imported
into Launchpad.

* I do not know of any standard approach to gettextizing shell files
(intltool does not support them, so I had to use xgettext directly), so
I've used a POTFILES.in file in a similar way to intltool-based
packages. There might be more elegant approaches, but this should give
you an idea of what is needed.

* My Debian packaging skills are limited, so if the modifications in
debian/rules are not appropriate, let me know and I'll fix it.

* This patch needs testing.
