The script isn't ended but I think it's time to release it to get feedback.
Possible bug: not all language can be supported; all language known by 
anaconda are supported
Known bugs: some pot files can't be checkout, there are probably special case 
that I have to check.

Script file can be localized ;-)
So feel free to do it and send me your strings.LANG.txt


Usage: $0 [OPTION]... [LANG_ISO_CODE]

This script build for you a script that checkout only your language"
po files of the translate module on the i18n RedHat cvs repository."

[LANG_ISO_CODE] have to be a valid lang iso code.

Avaliable options are:
  -f --force-pot-file    force checkouting pot files
                         usefull if your language isn't yet
                         supported by the Fedora Project
  -h --help              display this message and exit
  -p --with-pot-file     checkout all pot files
  -P --without-pot-file  don't checkout any pot file, even if your
                         language po file don't exist on repository
                         (bad idea ;-))
  -V --version           display the version information and exit
