Hi Fernando!

>From what I have seen so far, the script seems to be good for
translation workers (and manual writers) until we can get livedocs
working for them. BTW livedocs is partly intended to solve the problem
your script is aimed at solving, though it does much more, so the need
for livedocs is not threatened :)

I would like to propose a "build-by-id" working mechanism instead for
the script, so instead of:

  make file=./en/reference/mysql/functions/mysql-query.xml

one would be able to write:

  make id=myqsl-query

Since addentities.php.in should be able to find a file with this ID
defined. If one would try to build parts of individual files, then that
would overcomplicate things, so the file in which that ID is defined
should be selected... To be more clear:

  make id=security.filesystem

would not build the filesystem security part of the security section,
but the whole security section instead (since security.filesystem is
defined in the file which is the security section itself :)

This does not have the advantage of shell autocomplete, but people do
need to type less :)

Feel free to commit the script and the changes to the makefile :)
