No, files under CVS control must not be modified when building pages,
otherwise CVS conflict may occur on www-master. Imagine for instance
that PO files contain a "PO-Revision-Date" header field, automatically
updated when building pages. PO files in the working directory differ
from the ones stored in CVS repository. Then a translator commits
his file, and when 'cvs update' is run on www-master, there is a
conflict and this PO file becomes invalid on www-master.
