One potential reason could be that we are using ancient libintl files,
and there was some compatibility problem --- although I can't think of
a reason that would require updating the po files.

I know there is currently an issue on Debian because the po files are
getting intstalled in the wrong locations and the gettext shared
libraries are looking for them somewhere else, but I only vaguely
recall what was going on.  I had only enough time to start doing a
quick investigation to see why the translation files were getting
ignored, and didn't have time to try to fix it.

If someone would like to update the po directory and the configure.in
hunks for -po to something less antediluvian, patches would be greatly
appreciated....
