make-gnucash-potfiles

[Aaron Laws]

I have GREP_OPTIONS="--color=always -n --directories=skip", so when I run
make distcheck, it fails. make-gnucash-potfiles is expecting grep to *not*
put out line numbers nor colors. If the response to this is "don't do
that", then you can stop reading. However, if we're wanting this script to
run reliably in the face of a customized environment, the following patch
works:

Subject: [PATCH] make-gnucash-potfiles is now more reliable

make-gnucash-potfiles relies on certain behaviour from grep. This patch
helps ensure that grep behaves in the way we expect.

It's also possible to similarly patch make-gnucash-potfiles itself. If
that's desired, I'll be happy to come up with a patch like that.
