Hi Karl, coreutils has been using the po-check rule in Makefile.maint for years. It greps the version controlled sources for symbols like N_, _, gettext, and compares the resulting list of files with those in po/POTFILES.in. If there are differences, the check fails and prints the diffs. Then, upon failure, it's up to me to update POTFILES.in manually. Technically, it should also look for the other variants (n,d,c) of gettext.
