I agree that they should be in the build world. I suspect that your
patch is incomplete though, since I think that you will need to modify
the install-data-yes rule to pick up the .gmo files from the build
directory.

They are now. I have recently added the rule to the top level
makefile to do this. (And checked that they are now appearing in the
snapshots).
: They should also be distributed in releases.
This should start to happen with the next release.

This is my preferred solution.

Keeping binary files in CVS is not really a good idea. At least that
is what I have been told.

A good idea. I will do this today.
