I just pushed a couple of build and translation-infrastructure
fixes for the new site

   http://lilypond.org/~janneke/lilypond.org

Tiny bits of the Dutch and French home page are translated
so that you can see it works.

Much to my surprise I found we now have hardcoded file and directory
names buried in python scripts and libraries, deep inside scripts/
and python/ .  The funny thing is that all of these names can be
and actually are globbed by the makefile that drives these scripts.

I don't like the brown colours as much as the green ones.  I'm
not sure about the idea of the gradient, but it's better than
what we have now: no real feedback of where you are...

Also, (main) has become unhidden again.  Graham told me this
was a usability issue, ideas to fix this?

Jan.
