It is indeed. The code to create it is:
$(top_srcdir)/src/ext_l10n.h: $(top_srcdir)/lib/layouts/*.layout
$(top_srcdir)/lib/layouts/*.inc $(top_srcdir)/lib/ui/default.ui
$(top_srcdir)/lib/languages
sed < $(top_srcdir)/lib/ui/default.ui -n \
-e 's/.*[sS]ub[mM]enu[^"]*\("[^"]*"\).*/_(\1);/p' \
-e 's/.*[iI]tem[^"]*\("[^"]*"\).*/_(\1);/p' \
> $@
cat $(top_srcdir)/lib/layouts/*.layout $(top_srcdir)/lib/layouts/*.inc | \
sed -n -e 's/^[sS]tyle[ ]*\([^ ]*\)$$/_("\1");/p' | \
sort | uniq >> $@
sed < $(top_srcdir)/lib/languages -e '/^#/d' -e
's/[^"]*\("[A-Za-z0-9][^"]*"\).*/_(\1);/' >> $@
cat $(top_srcdir)/src/frontends/qt2/ui/*.ui | grep '<string>..*</string>' | \
sed 's,&,\&,;s,^.*<string>,_(",;s,</string>,"),;' | uniq >> $@
While I can understand that it is difficult to grok, what it does is
add to ext_l10n.h the strings for:
- menus
- layout files (Style names)
- languages
- qt2 ui files. This is probably this last part that annoys you the
most.

I asked already and will ask again: could a sed wizard out there
change this script so that it adds filenames and line numbers for each
of the entries of ext_l10n.h?
