I think we also still need something alike for the algorithm descriptions in
sextante - didn't look into that.

I now do.  Spawning a modeless dialog from modal dialogs doesn't work well...
I noticed only after moving the helpviewer into qgscontexthelp. So I reverted
that ;)

But I made the helpviewer read the help texts from stdin and qgscontexthelp to
write it to the helpviewer.

There is now a cmake recipes that creates a cpp file each for function and
context help from the -en_US version in resources and that is integrated
automatically into the ts file using the normal process.

I also added the non-en_US versions of the help files into the respective ts
files.  They are still there, although they aren't used anymore.

So now if there are updates to the help, only the en-US versions should be
added or updated - and the translations are in the ts files.

Yes, 4b766003 (and cdd7e9f1).
