Lovely <3  it even gives a distinction between compiled files and source
files when you /bin/ls the source directory.

Just my 2 cents:

The pot file is automatically generated when you 1) delete it and 2) run
make update-po.  It gets also deleted by make clean.

So basically what would be needed is to run an update-po target and add
those fresh pot files in svn.  It fixes the issue with wrong names,
hence it takes it wrong the project name (configure.in.in).  In the case
of orage, the xfcalendar dir name is "wrong".

I often forget to refresh the pot file in the notes plugin :(  Maybe it
should just not be there, but then you can't run msginit for new
languages...

Except my 2 cents not much, sorry.
