I'm 99% sure this is what Red Hat is doing.  Here is part of
their CVSROOT/modules:


po_anaconda             -d anaconda anaconda/po
po_autorun              -d autorun autorun/po
po_Xconfigurator        -d Xconfigurator Xconfigurator/po
po_apacheconf           -d apacheconf apacheconf/po
po_authconfig           -d authconfig authconfig/po
po_bindconf             -d bindconf bindconf/po
po_chkconfig            -d chkconfig chkconfig/po
po_redhat-config-date           -d redhat-config-date
redhat-config-date/po
po_firstboot            -d firstboot firstboot/po
po_hwbrowser            -d hwbrowser hwbrowser/po
po_initscripts          -d initscripts initscripts/po
po_kbdconfig            -d kbdconfig kbdconfig/po
po_redhat-config-kickstart             -d redhat-config-kickstart
redhat-config-kickstart/po
po_kudzu                -d kudzu kudzu/po
...
