commit 814dfe32963f4848047a1a22ab4f0432b05e4bba
Author: Jonathan Nieder <[email protected]>
Date:   Wed Oct 5 21:10:43 2011 +0200

    Bump advertised po4a requirement to 0.41
    
    The po4a --srcdir and --destdir options were introduced in version
    0.36.4, but attempts to point --srcdir to a different directory than the
    cwd when running po4a produced the message “master file was not found”
    instead of doing something useful until version 0.41 (r2317, 2010-11-03).
