All I see in the patch is updates to the message catalog. It seems to me
there should be chunks in there to push the entire string back into the
relevant driver, otherwise the changes to the messages.po files will be
overwritten the next time I do an extract/merge.

Essentially, I think we need to add properties to the drivers, such as:

BIN_PATH_LABEL = _("PostgreSQL Binary Path")
BIN_PATH_HELP = _("Path to the directory containing the PostgreSQL utility
programs (pg_dump, pg_restore etc).")

Then in types.py, we'd have something like:

st.utility_path = paths.register(
'bin_paths', st.stype + '_bin_dir',
st.BIN_PATH_LABEL,
'text', default_path, category_label=_('Binary paths'),
help_str=st.BIN_PATH_HELP
)
)

Thanks.
