It is generated by scanning the source files with xgettext.

Cool.  Actually, I thought there was one, but I don't remember where
it is.

This happens because you don't have GNU gettext installed.
For me, the ":" on the command quoted above is "xgettext".

Make sure you install the alpha gettext -- the one from alpha.gnu.org.
The last public gettext release is too old.
