The ABOUT-NLS file is part of the GNU gettext project, but includes the matrix
data from the TP website <http://translationproject.org/extra/matrix.html>.

I have regenerated the ABOUT-NLS file with an up-to-date matrix for you:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gettext.git;a=blob;f=gettext-runtime/ABOUT-NLS;h=51510b52d925ebefb03b0550259c0f673c015284;hb=23c6d100bb87dbd36f0b6707fbf4859937d8db96
But at some point, I should simply include a reference to the matrix on the
web site, or convert the ABOUT-NLS file to HTML...
