I think the current problems with modified POTFILES.in can be fixed by adding 
the appropriate ignore pattern(s) and/or files to the existing places. See 
r17488.

The file must be created automatically because otherwise we forget about it, 
but it must be in SVN as well, because... because... I forgot :-P

I think there might some issue where the intltool stuff requires this file to 
exist before the initial ./configure has finished and the Makefile rule for 
this file can be run. Or something like that. Whatever.

IMHO the current hickup was caused simply because we forgot to add the 
appropriate ignore pattern in there. This should be fixed with r17488; can 
you review :-) ?
