genstrings for custom translation function

Usage:

  1. localize app using "translatable string".localizeWith(comment: "this is a comment"), see localize.swift
  2. brew install sourcekitten (or use some other package manager, see https://github.com/jpsim/SourceKitten)
  3. place main.swift in project root
  4. run ./main.swift from the terminal (main.swift is a shell)
  5. copy the generated base.strings to the 'Base.lproj' folder
  6. rename 'base.strings' to 'Localizable.strings'
  7. repeat 5 and 6 for every language folder (e.g. 'en.lproj')
  8. translate
  9. add all Localizable.strings files to your "Copy bundle resources" under build phases
  10. clean build (Shift + Cmd + K) and run (Cmd + R)

Needs the sourcekitten framework to convert your project's swift code to AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) and extract strings translated using the localizedWith translation function.
