As far as I can tell, it would be difficult as the WML_OUT_FILENAME
cannot be expanded until after the slice-pass, and you really usually
need it much earlier (like WML_SRC_FILENAME etc.). This is also why I
asked for support of "Variables in #!-lines" in an earlier post (where
I also proposed a simple implementation of this); then you could call
wml twice, once with -DLANGUAGE=DE and
once with -DLANGUAGE=EN -DSUFFIX=-en and have a single shebang line

    #!wml -o (ALL-LANG_*)+LANG_%LANGUAGE%:%BASE%SUFFIX.html

(of course this is much slower). This feature would also come in
handy in other situations, e.g. if a text in a single language is
presented in various transliterations (Unicode support still being
poor for many browsers).

G^is / Ĝis / Ghis / Gxis / ^Gis,
