LOCDIR/LOCALEDIR and plugins

  Hello,

I'm a bit confused about the locale dir stuff in VDR 1.6.0 especially wrt. 
plugins.  newplugin hardcodes LOCALEDIR to $(VDRDIR)/locale without taking 
Make.config into account at all.  The result is that plugins will try to 
place their *.mo into a wrong location if LOCDIR was customized in in VDR's 
Make.config and/or "make install" was used.  I suppose the attached patch 
would fix that.

However that does not address weirdness in main VDR's locale dir handling; the 
value set for LOCDIR in Make.config gets built into vdr as the compile time 
default locale dir, but but "make install-i18n" will install the *.mo 
somewhere else unless one sets identical value for LOCALEDIR in Makefile 
(setting it in Make.config does not have any effect).  Are both LOCDIR and 
LOCALEDIR needed?  I'd try to clean this up and post a patch that fixes it if 
I knew what the intention is :)

I think the intention is that plugins copy their i18n files into 
LOCALEDIR in the VDR source dir, and the VDR makefile copies the files 
from LOCALEDIR to the LOCDIR install location. That way, LOCALEDIR 
should never change and there's no need to modify it in Make.config.
I don't have any real world experience though, as I am using my own 
packaging scripts anyway.

Cheers,
