Ouch -- this doesn't work very pleasantly because make is quite happy
to removing freeciv.pot if it thinks it needs to be regenerated (I
guess):

Making all in po
PATH=../src:$PATH : --default-domain=freeciv --directory=.. \
  --add-comments="TRANS:" --escape --keyword=_ --keyword=N_ --keyword=Q_ \
  --files-from=./POTFILES.in 2>&1 | grep -v "is unknown; will try C" \
&& test ! -f freeciv.po \
   || ( rm -f ./freeciv.pot \
        && mv freeciv.po ./freeciv.pot )
mv: cannot access freeciv.po
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `freeciv.pot'

Maybe we need to also kludge the Makefile - compare undep.sh  :-(
