I love answering my own questions...

FYI. The sourceforge CVS nightly tarball was exactly what i needed.  This is a
full repository backup and all i had to do was extract it somewhere and point
chora at it.  woopee.

So if anyone wants to get horde/chora running on SF, send me a inquiry if you
need guidence.  Considering SF hasn't replied to my gettext request i think my
kludge of a workaround is going to have to suffice for now.

I plan on rolling out horde for a simple "admin/developer only" interface with
skeletonized horde modules to wrap useful project resource such as the
phpmyadmin inteface, and content management stuff.

Horde team, would be nice if there was a config option to turn off
gettext/internationalization.  Hate to do it but sometimes english is good
enough when left with no alternative.

Now i just need to add their logo to the footers so i'm in "compliance" with the
rules.
