Right. But on one system only one method is used (dependant on po4a
version).

Oops, it's much easier. We could just remove the "*.sgml: *.po" rule and
create the SGML file manually before we commit it.
Nevertheless the initial (and proper) solution is not to commit SGML at
all and to deal only with PO files in CVS. Generated SGML files in CVS are
just a stupid workaround.
Not committing PO files but generated SGML files was used by some translators
in the past and resulted already in vanished PO files.
