For reference, here is libvirt's custom generator:
http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob;f=daemon/remote_generator.pl;h=062ccc1;hb=d3c5104
And here's the generated file it produced, just before we removed it
from libvirt.git:
http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob;f=daemon/remote_dispatch_bodies.h;hb=d3c5104
Now, find _("connection not open") in those two files, then decide how
xgettext will do the same :)
But yes, the sc_po_check rule already _does_ favor .l or .y files (that
part of 'make syntax-check' greps for all _(" in .[ch] whether in
version control or not, but then checks the basename with alternate
suffixes before computing what file should have been listed in POTFILES.in).
