Nope. po is not copied across, and inst _is_ used to install message
catalogues. So inst/po is quite to be expected. (The difference is that
po contains sources of translations, and inst/po contains compiled
translations. The naming is a bit different too (we didn't invent this).)
Probably chtml should be added to cater for Windows which (optionally)
uses it.
