These are compiled translation files. They MUST be included in all binary 
distributions! Otherwise the app will not be localized.

In every app, there is a toplevel po/ dir with .po files, which are compiled 
with msgfmt to .gmo files. When installed, they are put in 
$PREFIX/share/locale/$LANG/LC_MESSAGES/$PACKAGE.mo

Maybe the script does not understand language.gmo -> package.mo rename?
