Is there any way to do this without checking in a modified
po/Makefile.in.in? Some autogen.sh scripts run gettextize and will
overwrite this file. It also doesn't seem very robust against gettext
version changes.

For intltool (the module formerly known as xml-i18n-tools) we patch
the po/Makefile.in.in after it gets copied in. In this case a cleverly
chosen sed job might do the trick (since the patch would have to be
aoutomatically generated.
