[Typo3-dev] gettext as default translation system

The idea is nice, I just wonder who's going to implement such a huge(!)
change?!

It would have been nice to discuss about this when the locallang files were
changed into XML format, so changing it again is probably not worth the
effort.

Can you please make a little estimation of how much work is needed to change
this, if possible by keeping the traditional getLL features as stated by
Masi?

Can you also make an estimation whether the speed gain is worth the effort
or not?

Thanks, michael
