What difference does it make, given that it's all scripted (no manual work) ?
We don't want to duplicate the work xgettext does, and the current method
works fine.
Extract from kword/Makefile.am:
        perl ../kspread/extracti18n expression/*.xml > xml_doc.cc
        $(EXTRACTRC) mailmerge/sql/*.ui >> rc.cpp
        $(XGETTEXT) rc.cpp *.cc mailmerge/*.cc mailmerge/sql/*.cc kwaboutdata.h -o $(podir)/kword.pot

The first two lines are 2 different perl scripts that extract messages from XML
and generate i18n statements from that.
