Hi Sébastien,

GNOME modules have standard ways of generating pot files. Damned Lies
uses these standards, because it would be too heavy to set up a
different process for each module.

* For source code strings, the standard is intltool. D-L runs
intltool-update in the /po directory (it is possible to have several
domain per module). Translators then commit in /po/<lang>.po

* For documentation (either DocBook or Mallard), D-L is reading
variables (DOC_* or HELP_*) in /<help_dir>/Makefile.am to get a list of
files, then uses xml2po or itstool to generate pot with these files.
Translators commit in /<help_dir>/<lang>/<lang.po>

If it could be possible for you to abide to these standards, it would be
nice. I could possibly adapt D-L to read from another file than
Makefile.am, but we'd like to keep the general process as it is
currently.
