Currently JBoss projects start to use maven-jdocbook-plugin for translations which depends on the po2xml native utility. It is likely that many non-JBoss projects will use it for translations. The utility is present in the kdesdk package which adds a lot of useless stuff. It will be convenient for translators of java/maven based projects to *not* need install whole kdesdk but po2xml only (as done in debian linux).
