I wrote it; what is exaclty you still don't understand ?

Huh ? nothing. You just call "gettextize -f -c" and it adds the directories
for you. You only need to create the po/POTFILES.in with the list of 
source files (relative to the main dir of the sources) that have traslatable
strings.

I put in http://www.linuxi18n.org/gettext-en.html my experiences on how
to add the needed stuff for autoconf;
and in http://www.linuxi18n.org/gtk-en.html info on what to do for
Gnome and Gtk+ programs.

The steps described there are what I did myself to add i18n support to
various Gnome or Gtk+ programs (among them XMMS); so it works.
