I meant

./configure --without-po2html

with a help description explaining that translated error pages is then
not available, but can be downloaded from http://... and installed
manually if needed.

The reason for the manual flag instead of automatic detection is to get
the admin aware of the difference...

Maybe. The template stuff isn't that much work (done easier by
annotating the English templates slightly), but not sure how well
gettext will react on dynamic language selection.. (LC_LANGUAGE set per
request)
