Yes, this is something I forgot in my last email. We definitely want
to have one textdomain, which will more than likely be 'pacman'. There
are still quite a few details to work out with regards to
translations- adding the gettext calls is only part of the issue. More
than likely our po directory will need to move to the root of the
checkout.
