Where is the source of po/Makefile.in.in?

Hi,

I'm trying to run "make distcheck" in the xfce4-genmon-plugin, and I'm
running into the following error:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/john/xfce4-genmon-plugin/xfce4-genmon-plugin-3.3.1/_build/po'
XGETTEXT_ARGS="--keyword=Q_ --from-code=UTF-8" INTLTOOL_EXTRACT=/usr/bin/intltool-extract XGETTEXT=/usr/bin/xgettext --keyword=Q_ --from-code=UTF-8 srcdir=../../po /usr/bin/intltool-update --gettext-package xfce4-genmon-plugin --pot
/bin/sh: --keyword=Q_: command not found
make[2]: *** [xfce4-genmon-plugin.pot] Error 127


The problem is that $(XGETTEXT) contains spaces and therefore should be
placed within quotation marks in the following line in po/Makefile.in.in:

GENPOT   = XGETTEXT_ARGS="$(XGETTEXT_ARGS)" INTLTOOL_EXTRACT=$(INTLTOOL_EXTRACT) XGETTEXT=$(XGETTEXT) srcdir=$(srcdir) $(INTLTOOL_UPDATE) --gettext-package $(GETTEXT_PACKAGE) --pot


However, this file is auto-generated during autogen.sh, and I cannot
find its source or even what tool it is generated by.  Help, please?
