On second thought, maybe we should use the theme textdomain loader.
wordpress-i18n/pot/trunk could contain a wp-theme.pot catalog, and all
locales would translate it.  It could be stored in
messages/theme/lc_CC.po.  Since we're having to add gettext to the
template anyway, adding a call to load_theme_textdomain() is no big
deal.

I'm not sure.  Either way.  Thoughts?
