Well, I mean better description. Of course, if it can be made to look
better, that's fine too.

This is a great idea, but we may want to use standard (ISO-something)
LANG names so that the user who has it set for normal operation will
automatically get this one.
If we really want to push this, we can even put the generated READMEs
in a subdirectory so that any user will have all of them right off the
bat, but I guess that's too much. Having the ability to "make readmes
LANG=polish" and slap the result on a Polish CDROM or have an mirror
site run this for the users in that country would be good enough, I
think.
Thanks for your comments!
