[mythtv] [RFC] Proposal: Not to version translations' qm files

If you can't easily build the .qm files,
you have to download them from somewhere,
matching the source code and .ts versions.


Its not the end of the world if they don't match
perfectly, but having them in SVN (and versioned)
isn't a huge problem either?

We are saving builders time by giving them .qm files!

Heh. Shades of Java there!

A bit different to compiled code, though.
The .qm files seem to be just a binary encoding.
The encoding only changes when Qt fiddles with it.


That said, it isn't the end of the world if we
add another dependence (on qt-translate).
