I wrote the $squirrelmail_language thing. I noticed that I have some work
to do with that and the login/logout screen just now when testing the
Polish translations. Just leave it as it is, and I will look at it again.

Mixing this with the unrelated task of showing help file index is not a
very good idea. Too many files should be avoided, but using 2 files for the
help system is not too much.
