 * Email assignment strategy / GPG key creation help
 http://www.didrocks.fr/temp/quickly-email.pdf
 It's quite difficult to know (being disconnected or not) which email address to use. Email choice is particularly important regarding GPG key for uploading to LP. This involves:
 - being able to choose (in both case: before first connection to LP and when the first "share/release" is done) the right email
 1. DEBEMAIL / DEBFULLNAME
 2. EMAIL in bzr (if set)
 3. EMAIL / id of the system
 4. Author_email in setup.py (if set)
 5. Iterate over LP email addresses (begin with preferred)
   -> we set bzr whoami and author_email in setup.py with first sucessfull found email adress
   -> we set the licence file "AUTHORS" to it if still the default.
   -> if quickly share/release (with LP connection and GPG key needed), we check for each candidate that we have a GPG key both locally and on LP and take the first match.
   -> we set DEBEMAIL to it for all subprocess (like debchanges called by python-distutils-extra)
 - GPG easier creation
 - Launchpad patching to access GPG key with launchpadlib
-> If signing isn't working, ask for the user to change their email adress

Did the docbook conversion and the .pot file so quickly's docs are ready for translation. I proposed a merge to my branch.
