including files depending on language

[Davor Cengija <nospam@thanx>]

       I'm quite new to this, so.... (if there is a mailing list
       archive, it would help me a lot... anyone?)

       is it possible to make something like this (i know this won't
       work; this is just the easiest way to explain):

#use wml::std::lang

<lang:new id=en short>
<lang:new id=de short>

<lang:star: 

#include incl.*.wml

>

       incl.de.wml and incl.en.wml already exist.

       Or (very short): how to include different files, depending on
       language?



       Longer explanation
       ------------------

       Let's say we have to build a page in three different languages
       (en, de, fr) but material in French is not ready yet. So, we
       create some 'modules' in order to easy add French language,
       like this:

#use wml::std::lang
#include 'language.list.wml'

<lang:star:
#include headers/header1.*.wml
>

<lang:star:
#include toolbars/toolbar.*.wml
>

etc etc

       File 'language.list.wml' looks like this:

<lang:new id=en short>
<lang:new id=de short>

       ...and directories 'toolbars' and 'headers' are fulfilled with
       files called header1.de.wml, header1.en.wml, toolbar.de.wml,
       toolbar.en.wml etc... each with appropriate content.

       The pages are generated with -o option (there is no shebang
       line on the beginning of the file).

       After finishing French lang. material, we just add the files
       into the appropriate directories, add <lang:new id=fr short>
       to 'language.list.wml' and 'recompile' the pages for French
       language.

       Maybe #include command can be somehow emulated (with perl or
       m4)?
