This is an interesting problem. I'm not sure whether the 'dist'
target is already improved for the next gettext release (0.11).
It will be fixed in gettext 0.11. Thanks for the suggestion.
Another thing to be aware of: An update of fetchmail.pot fails if
the source file rcfile_y.c isn't built in advance. There is no rule
in the makefile in po directory to do this automatically.
Generally, you need to do "make" in the topdir before "make
fetchmail.pot" in the po directory. Especially if you have designated
as "source file" an autogenerated file.
