I've been slowly working on this for the next release.  I've managed
to move most of the large chunks of text into separate files in the
template directory.

A lot of these small sentences are still in the code, but I agree they 
should be moved out into separate files.  The utilities to do this are 
all in place, so it's just a matter of tracking them all down and
converting them.
