The automake fragment that generates po/Makefile.in.in is all messed up.

Specifically, the install: part is missing $(DESTDIR) in front of *ALL*
the install directories. 

This makes it impossible to configure --prefix=/usr/local, then 
make install DESTDIR=/somewhere_else, because the po files will install
into /usr/local, instead of /somewhere_else/usr/local, as they should be.

This feature is a well-known useful technique to build binary packages for
a distribution.

Fix:
add the few $(DESTDIR) needed in po/Makefile.in.in

Longer time fix:
get the automake/gettext people to fix the problem, and release a new
version of their toolset with an announcement....

Preferably yesterday.
