desc and summary

[Bernd Groh]

There is a lot of logic in that, and I did consider it, but I decided 
against it, because it becomes a little too difficult to manage wrt how 
things are currently. Regarding the split of summaries and descriptions, 
at one stage, we even considered removing all descriptions completely, 
and to keep summaries only. That's why I decided to make the 
descriptions a second pot. If we'd attempt any further division, 
bringing specspo to live again, would take a whole lot longer again. For 
now, I'd really prefer to keep it as it is, summary.pot and desc.pot, 
and maybe later down the track, look into splitting specspo according to 
package groups.

Thanks,
Bernd
