Hm, it seems there isn't any way to generate one documentation translation
at a time -- you have to generate all the translations /plus/ the pot in
each go? That's, um, kind of awkward to integrate into the build process...
Let's see if I have the dependency chain down, anyway. Maybe the low-level
utilities can be used to get a proper build set up.
po4a/po/aptitude.pot => master file, depends on en/aptitude.xml.
po4a/po/??.po => translations for ??, depends on po4a/po/aptitude.pot.
??/aptitude.xml => translated documentation, depends on po4a/po/??.po
and po4a/add_??/addendum.1.??
So far so good, so I just need to figure out the incantations to generate
each file from its dependencies...or use the super-all-in-one-script that
regenerates the world whenever a dependency changes (and in reality most
changes I'll see are changes that impact the whole world anyway).
