Because the .po files are the sole responsibility of the translators. *They* 
should run "msgmerge" every once in a while. We shouldn't.

That's this stupid gettext/intltool/whatever version. Even running "msgmerge" 
on our own doesn't help, because the recompiling of the .po catalogs will 
happen after every single change any c code file. We had some discussion 
about this earlier. I ended up editing the po/Makefile.in.in file and 
commenting out the line where the INTLTOOL_UPDATE command is called. I think 
it was this one (commenting out is achieved by adding the 'echo' in front):

$(POFILES): $(srcdir)/$(DOMAIN).pot
	@lang=`echo $@ | sed -e 's,.*/,,' -e 's/\.po$$//'`; \
	test "$(srcdir)" = . && cdcmd="" || cdcmd="cd $(srcdir) && "; \
	echo "$${cdcmd}$(INTLTOOL_UPDATE) $${lang}.po"; 

This manual workaround has to be done every time when ./autogen.sh is called, 
i.e., on the stable branch probably seldomly.
