So why not just fixing releaseme to remove those issues (which I see as 
small)?
Is the goal here:
User launch script -> find a source directory with translations -> compile it?

Release scripts partially cover this, it's mostly a matter of changing the 
output

It's much easier IMHO then duplicating content in SVN, which I would 
personally oppose.
