I think the major load of context help is on help writers and
translators and it would be good to make life easy for them at the
expense of a little added maintenance on devs when renaming dialogs.
The dialog names dont change that often and getting things set so that
they fine doc folks can go for it makes sense to me.

So +1 from me for using help files based on dialog class names (and
Juergens patch).
