Good point.

In some cases, like Introduction->(main), I don't think that
there's much point informing translators that the first 4
sentences are slightly-rewritten versions of
http://lilypond.org/web/switch/

In cases of longer text, like the Testimonials, it probably *is*
worth mentioning the source.  Of course, they still need to put
the old translation into texinfo rather than HTML, so it's still
going to be somewhat of a chore.


I'll add links to the source whenever there's more than 5
sentences; then translators can decide for themselves if it's
worth looking at the previous work, or whether they just want to
translate it again from scratch.

Cheers,
