So announcements.php will provide announcements according
to REQUEST:

- default == latest and en
- check for GET version (?version=430)
- check for GET lang (?lang=fr)
- check my.php.net lang preference
- select box for available announcements

IMO there's no point in translating the website.
(except for the manual)

Well, I also thought about this. I really dislike the current
translation method. Only English and French versions are posted of
release announcements, BTW. If we go on this way, it is much better to
think about translating the site. :)))

So I thought about putting this a bit off, and do the user preferences
and advanced search, which are the two next points on my todo list, and
work on site translation support later.

There are some problems, like what to do if a translation is outdated
(fall back to English, but it may not be that easy). Eg if a release is
out, and the English files are chnaged, but the translated ones are
not.

And then there is also the question on how to support site translation
selection. Do the site "needs to be" translated to all languages, which
have their manuals. If not, then we need a separate list for site
translations, and so two different language handling methods for site
and manual language preferences...
