I was under the impression that there is an intltool rule for this
(similar to INTLTOOL_XML_NOMERGE_RULE) that you can
add to your project's makefile to create myproject.glade from
myproject.glade.in .

although I just noticed that glade 2 used to dump translatable strings
into a file for this purpose; IMO this should be the domain of intltool
to extract translations from glade files (or gtkbuilder files).

I would recommend that you verify that such a rule doesnt exist
yet and file an rfe under intltool for that.

Cheers,
