Here is a patch for the $(HURD_SRC)/hurd/Makefile to install all the msgid files to $(prefix)/share/msgids.
Can we get this commited so this task can be closed? I posted a few days ago asking for an agreement on where to store the files, Alfred was the only one who agreed(or even commented). Is this ok?

Could you wrap your lines after about 75 chars?

What does everyone think of changing `make hurd.msgids` to `make
msgids`? Since the former builds more then just hurd.msgids.

`make ext2fs' builds far more than just `ext2fs'.

I'd suggest to leave out that change and instead use something like
#v+
install: install-msgids
#v-
Installing the msgids alongside the headers yields no real benefit, but
makes cross compilations harder:

#v+

Works as expected. Thanks for fixing the patch.

Is it worth adding a rule for 'install-msgids' to the top-level
Makefile?
Running 'make prefix= install-msgids' in [hurd]/hurd/ works, but
obviously not in [hurd]/.

You can do `make -C hurd install-msgids' from the top-level build
directory.
