I've done some more research into this.  Apparently the combination of
automake 1.10 and intltoolize 0.35.5 causes po/Makefile to perform
this extra test that wasn't made before.  It's trying to be helpful by
testing to make sure all the files are in POTFILES.in, but it's
failing because it's finding stuff that shouldn't be in there for one
reason or another.  So, it's trying to be helpful, and we're losing
because of it.

Unfortunately, short of using an older version of intltoolize and/or
automake I dont think there's a quick solution to this problem.

I've noticed the same problem with 2.0 branch on my F7t4 system.

We could just add these files to POTFILES.skip and then change
the top level Makefile.am to NOT cross-check with distfiles.
That might be the safest route, albeit a little annoying.  But
I guess intltool is now trying to perform the tests that our own
check was trying to do.  And also, apparently, intltool is now
more sensitive about translations.

More later...
