[PATCH v4 0/4] Improve generating of LINGUAS

[Glenn Washburn <development@efficientek.com>]

I've seen several times and believe that quite often people building GRUB
forget to run linguas.sh to download and setup the build for the external
translations. So make setting up LINGUAS happen by default when running
bootstrap. If a user does not want to setup LINGUAS it can be skipped by
running bootstrap with the existing --skip-po argument. In fact, bootstrap
already has functionality that automatically downloads a projects translations,
so switch to using that in patch #2. Also it is needed to run some extra code
because bootstrap will not add GRUB's autogenerated languages. In patch #3
simplify the LINGUAS generation and patch #4 fixes a couple issues in the
INSTALL that is dependent on patch #1.

v4:
 * List wget as a soft requirement in INSTALL

v3:
 * Fix an issue where basename could be called by xargs with no arguments

v2:
 * There wasn't intentionally a v1, but I accidentally created a patch
   series, and then I realized that patch #2 depends on patch #1.

         Use existing LINGUAS created by bootstrap instead of finding po files
         again.
     
    +    Add wget as a soft requirement now that we are using bootstrap's code
    +    for updating translation files. This should only be needed if updated
    +    translations are desired, which is the default. There should be older
    +    translation files already, and wget is not necessary if those will
    +    suffice.
