I'm changing contrib/mkdist to include po/elinks.pot in the ELinks release (not snapshot) tarballs, as recommended at <http://translationproject.org/html/maintainers.html>.
Because mkdist checks the source out from the Git repository, which does not contain po/elinks.pot, it must build this file From the source. When po/Makefile is asked to generate elinks.pot, it also generates potfiles.list in the source directory. This file has not been included in earlier ELinks tarballs, and I don't see any reason to include it now, so I'm changing mkdist to remove potfiles.list from the source directory before it runs tar. Why does po/Makefile generate potfiles.list at all? It seems to me that po/Makefile could just run find and pipe the resulting list to "xgettext -f-". Does potfiles.list serve some purpose in dependency decisions or does it exist for debugging only? Could I move it from the source directory to the build directory, so that mkdist wouldn't have to explicitly delete it?
