Yes, indeed. :-)

I think variables are also possible with gettext (I have at least already 
strings translated with variables in it...so ;-) ).

Aren't there restrictions in SVN/CVS/... possible? So:
/pytransports/aim/ (you+?)
/pytransports/icq/ (you+?)
/pytransports/msn/ (james+?)
/pytransports/common-stuff/ (you+james+?)
/pytransports/common-stuff/webinterface/
/pytransports/common-stuff/lang.py
etc

Good lord...  it's 104 outside and the air conditioning just died in this
building....

Anyway, I simply don't have time nor desire to do the merge.  I'm tired of
arguing about it..  The lang pieces sound fine to me though.
