[MPlayer-DOCS] gnu gettext

[Carl Fûrstenberg]

one way to do it:
move help/help_mp-en.h messages.h
add _( and ) to all defines
add inititzation to main
add include to config.h
add test to configure
run xgettext on messages.h
mkdir po
do a script copying strings from help/help-mp-lang.h to corresponding
po-file and place
