Most translation maintainers don't generate pots/pos from sources, they
just grab the updated po's from l10n.gnome.org. The software behind
l10n.gnome.org (damned-lies) generates them using intltool as far as I
see.

If you update the po's yourself somehow outside, most translators will
override them, as we assume only we work on the po files and
damned-lies.

I guess the good thing to do is to make intltool catch the strings,
otherwise I think it is a bit too late to inform translators of what
needs to be done, unfortunatly :-( .tarballs due in two days right?
