Latest version has the following features:

- --language=ab,cd,ef and --language="ab cd ef" are supported, the list
   is now used as a fallback for possible message/gui translations
 - --language=all is supported
 - --language=ab,cd,ef,all and --language="ab cd ef all" are supported
   for all man pages, but different message/gui translations than en
 - $LINGUAS is honored
 - if no --language or $LINGUAS is given it defaults to en

Credits for ideas go out to (in no particular order):

Sylvain Petreolle
Dan Christiansen
Dominik Mierzejewski
