lynx-dev keeping lynx in sync with gettext

While trying to trace down those tracing msgs I mentioned a bit earlier,
I found the following.  There appears to be quite a few instances of 
english being ouput directly to stderr rather than making use of
intervening function.

src/HTML.c has an fprintf to stderr of a constant string rather than a
gettext'd string around line 7056.

LYMain.c has the same thing at line 1576 , 1586, 1597, 3269 , 3272, 3279,
3282.

A lot of the CTRACE calls are still feeding english to the output
routine.


Also, I was wondering if anyone knew of places where lynx is doing strcmp
against text input by the user and comparing against english.  Is
there anything that need be done in any of these case?  As far as I am
aware, the current gettext-ing only addresses output messages and not
things like argument names, lynx.cfg config parameters, etc.  So those
would be 'safe' for now.  Any place else where attention is needed?

Finally, for those who have worked so hard on alternate language modules
for lynx I have a question - are you also translating the help file, html
files, and man pages?  Having those be available for download right along
side the error msgs seems useful.
