Today, xml to lexc lexicon conversion uses the xsl script

giella-core/scripts/xsl/generate_lex-fileVM.xsl in the following way

1. It is the same script for all lgs
2. It picks the fin translation
3. It picks the whole translation

We want:

1. a makefile condition saying:
   if the generate_lex-fileVM.xsl exists in $LANG/src/scripts, use that
   if not, use the one in giella-core

2. For the local script to be made in mhr (and elsewhere ad lib),
   a. ask for eng, and not fin translations
   b. if eng does not exist, ask for fin (i.e. have a fallback)
   c. do not take the whole translation , but cut at the first "," or ";"
   d. remove any content in parenthesis before this comma

Number 3. should be >> picks the entire translation of the FIRST t element content by default

              <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="../../../mg[1]/tg[@xml:lang='fin']/t[1]">
                  <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(../../../mg[1]/tg[@xml:lang='fin']/t[1])"/>
                </xsl:when>

Today, xml to lexc lexicon conversion uses the xsl script

giella-core/scripts/xsl/generate_lex-fileVM.xsl in the following way

2. It picks the fin translation
3. It picks the whole translation

CORRECTION to what the script does:
2. It picks the fin translation (tg) of the first mg element
3. It picks only the first t element content

We want:

1. a makefile condition saying:
   if the generate_lex-fileVM.xsl exists in $LANG/src/scripts, use that
   if not, use the one in giella-core

2. For the local script to be made in mhr (and elsewhere ad lib),
   a. ask for eng, and not fin translations
   b. if eng does not exist, ask for fin (i.e. have a fallback)
   c. do not take the whole translation , but cut at the first "," or ";"
   d. remove any content in parenthesis before this comma

It would be even BETTER if there were a possibility to select other languages,
too, i.e. someone might want to use fra or rus.
