The first round of problems is that trunk has some files that are in POTFILES.skip but are also distributed (that's after fixing an oversight when I added the scheme files to POTfILES.skip). 2.4 fails configure (configure: error: Cannot find Glib Gettext.  Maybe you need to install the gettext package?) when in built from the tarball-created dist directory.

These are built with a hand-rolled makefile in src/app-utils/calculation called Makefile.calc. It's not part of the regular build. When calculation was a separate module these sources were included as an EXTRA_DIST in the main Makefile.am, but that was dropped when Christian moved them into app-utils.
