What put me off last time I looked at that package was that the recipe
has a mandatory zcml option, like this:

zcml = <include package="z3c.recipe.tests" file="extract.zcml" />"

I am personally in favour of i18ndude, as that is what I have used in
all my Plone projects.  It has the same base as z3c.recipe.i18n,
namely the scripts from zope.all.locales.

There is not yet a recipe that is built around i18ndude though; I
think I may create that some day if someone does not beat me to it.
