I didn't get any response from g11n-interest. Let me clarify that 
webalizer can be configured only with one language at a time, and the 
resulting binary will produce output in that language, i.e. if it's 
built --with-language=french, then all reports/output will be in French 
and not in English. Thus if I need to deliver support for those 9 
languages per PAC rules, then SUNWwebalizer package would have to 
contain 10 webalizer binaries (English and the others). Somehow I doubt 
that's the desired solution...
