Well, "kde cvs" is not necessarly cvs.kde.org. Quanta is there because they 
do not have another cvs server, but it's not part of the KDE CVS distribution 
which is on ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/snapshots/current. The packages 
there get their POT files automaticly, that's correct. Quanta does not.
