 The welcome message is take from $GISBASE/locale/<locale>/etc/welcome if
 it exists.

 The help text could be handled similarly, except that the text currently
 undergoes some variable substitutions ($CMD_NAME and $DEFAULT_GUI). That
 could be handled with sed, e.g.:
 {{{
     sed -e "s/@CMD_NAME@/$CMD_NAME/" -e "s/@DEFAULT_GUI@/$DEFAULT_GUI/" <
 $GISBASE/locale/$LOCALE/etc/helpmsg
 }}}
