The PO files and the POT file should be updated manually when needed and 
not automatically at every build. There is a need to update the POT only 
when files with translatable strings have been changed, and the same is 
true for PO files update via msgmerge().

Maybe we should create po/Makefile and move the PO/POT stuff there.
