Alright. Does ngettext accommodate the zero case or just singular and plural? It seems to respect only two choices.

    (if (zerop count)
        (message "No projects were found")
      (project--write-project-list)
      (message (ngettext "%d project was found"
                         "%d projects were found"
                         count) count))

vs. which could be a useful variant:

    (when (> count 0)
      (project--write-project-list))
    (message (ngettext "No projects were found"
                       "%d project was found"
                       "%d projects were found"
                       count) count)

Neither is correct, because they hard-code English grammar.  We should
use ngettext instead.
