The lovely-recipe is really easy going (well, lovely ;-). I modified
grokproject, so that buildout of a new generated project now
automatically creates i18nextract and friends in the bin-directory.

The i18n-tools are customizable using buildout.cfg. See the [i18n]
section in buildout.cfg. It is quite self-explanatory.

I also put zope.i18nmessageid into the dependency list of the created
projects, which is a pure convenience feature, that might be handy if
using i18n with a grokproject.

I would be glad, if someone could check this out.

Kind regards,
