The makefile is maintained - what I was thinking about - the original
makefile had some GNU-make specific trash which I removed.  So's the
template for POTFILES.

I'm ambivalent about lynx.pot (which can be generated), but I test against
the fr.po - irregardless of whether it's in the distribution.

I've avoided fixing the files in the intl directory, but even there I have
a strong impression that even though it works, the people who should be
maintaining it are moving on to another scheme which isn't compatible.

So either we build a separate package to overlay the base distribution, or
we leave it integrated.

they're all a problem in maintenance - we have a number of files which
(from different people's viewpoints) are wholly redundant, but take a lot
of effort to create.
