gettext 0.11 / automake 1.6: make dist & rm from srcdir

[Karl Berry]

I was making a texinfo pretest distribution and make distcheck failed in
make update-po -> texinfo.pot-update:

rm: cannot unlink `../../po/texinfo.pot': Permission denied

This is apparently because po/Makefile.in.in is attempting to rm (and
mv) stuff under $(srcdir).  This fails with automake's make distcheck,
since it makes $(srcdir) read-only (including the directories).

I think either the $(DOMAIN).pot-update target in po/Makefile.in.in
needs to avoid doing this, or it shouldn't be called at all.  The kludge
patch below (I needed to get my pretest out) does the former.

Thanks,
karl

P.S. I doubt Makefile.in.in should really be copyright personally by
Ulrich.  That's an awfully old email address for him, too.
