Since the postgres.pot file has nearly 400 dependency files (all backend
source files), it is currently handled in an odd way. Observe this:
peter ~/pgsql/src/backend/po$ make init-po
find ./.. -name '*.c' -print >gettext-files
xgettext --foreign-user -ctranslator -D . -n -kelog:2 -kpostmaster_error -f gettext-files
mv messages.po postgres.pot
If the "find" somehow messes up you will get an incomplete .pot file.
Also note that there are no prerequisites declared for the file
"gettext-files". That is, if it's wrong or outdated you need to remove it
first.
Suggestions for improvement welcome.
