FYI, I have no "gnucash.pot" in my build tree. "make" doesn't build
one on my system, but "make dist" would. At least with the version of
po/Makefile.in that I've got on my system, the pot file is built only
as part of 'dist'.
So.. It could break if you run make, then svn update (where someone
deleted a file), and then run "make dist". It will also get built if
you run "make pot" from the top level.
Your makefile rules deals with the latter case, but not the former. A
simple "rebuild po/POTFILES.in in the dist rule in the top level
Makefile" will take care of this case.
Note that we don't control po/Makefile, so future versions/changes may
add other dependencies. This is all dependent on the version of
gettext installed on your machine.
