You are right, generating a new template results in 62 strings.

There seems to be a bug in intltool-update --pot that only
extracts strings which immediately follow a '(', so

(_"foo"  ends up in the template

but

_"foo"  doesn't.

At least that's the pattern I found when looking at the pot file
and the scheme source files.

To the folks on gnome-i18n gnome org: did you ever hear of this
issue? Can you investigate it? I'm sure there are more i18n experts
on gnome-i18n gnome org than on gimp-developer-list ;)
