should I include *.po and *.pot files into the NLS package or does these belong another place?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Just the .mo file is sufficient for running the script in the native language.

Thanks to BarryK who invented momanager which automagically creates -
- .pot (tool: xgettext) and
- .po (tools: msginit, msgmerge)
- lets .po translate in poeditor (if installed) or defaulttexteditor
- generates new .mo after closing of editor
- creates a .tgz of this translation countaining just the .mo in the correct path Cool

Thus storing and distributing .pot and .po is not necessary. for scripted applications(!).

Some exceptions from this:
- Somehow buggy scripts (alsaconf)
- Translations for C programs (example: retrovol)
need .pot file because they are not automatically created by momanager.
- ???

updated momanager HOWTO

I forgot to mention that Spanish is included in the main NLS-pack.
See first post.
