Good work :-)

Making it integrated in scripty should be a priority, things i see missing:
 * Need to hook it up to places where XmlMessages.h exists
 * Need to find the proper place of the souce file using get_pahs stuff
 * Need to commit the changed file

Why do you think there is a difference in compiling yourself vs compiling in 
distro?
