It would be nicer of course, but while it's not done, you can at least
check the string identifiers and figure out which tooltip goes where
from them. The identifiers are shown above the English string, and are
quite obvious, e.g., if "610.ExtensionCreator.Title" is a label, then
"609.ExtensionCreator.HelpText" is obviously (rather useless) the
tooltip of that label.

It's not ideal, but this is what we have and will have until somebody
finally adds comments to those strings... :)
