I've got the translation of console msg to French in my patches pipe.
I hopefully only need to review and apply it.
I also have the gtk gui patch on my tracker.

I imagine that win32 gui is out of the question for pre9? It wouldn't
be safe to ship such a large piece of code without having it tested
beforehand? (on the other hand, it merging it before release will make
it more likely to get more testing, as ppl will know that it exists
looking at the release changelog).
