hmm, that's a good idea, if it can be made to work properly. which i'm
not sure, since pod2:: seems to be oriented to base perl documentation.

whatever the solution, we need something easy:
 - for the plugin author to package the result
 - for the translator to translate the documentation

which is why i thought of reusing old & trusted gettext stuff.

but i'm not a gettext zealot (it's in fact the first time that i'm
working on an i18n code base), so i don't really care of the how, as
long as the final result is a localized documentation for the user.
