I noticed that virt-v2v, which is written exclusively in perl, failed to
generate virt-v2v.pot. After much head scratching I also noticed that
libguestfs.pot didn't include any messages from perl sources. Some reading of
libintl-perl shows that a somewhat more complicated xgettext command line is
required, as it doesn't understand Locale::TextDomain syntax by default. After a
little more head scratching, I decided to replace the autopoint generated
infrastructure with the reference infrastructure from libintl-perl because:
1. It works
2. It's a whole lot more transparent
libguestfs still needs some attention in this area. This change may not be
appropriate for libguestfs because it is not exclusively written in perl.
