Which is why I deliberately ensured that the top level make would build all 
precursor files for make pot to operate.

The later changes were to reflect tests on Mac OSX and to ensure that the 
auto-build of make-gnucash-potfiles AND po/POTFILES.in is trouble free for 
make install and make distcheck.

These changes are already in QOF and pilot-qof and have been tested on three 
platforms. The system works, please can we use it?

May I take that as a compliment? (Seeing as the repetitive building of 
make-gnucash-potfiles and po/POTFILES.in is not automated?)
;-)

Now if there are any remaining problems with the changes, I'll gladly fix 
them, but simply reverting to a SVN file that is ALWAYS changing, breaks the 
build whenever a file is removed, needs MANUAL updating when new files are 
added and for which we have a serviceable method of auto-generation - that 
strikes me as bizarre.
