You might want to take a look at how po4a is handled in dpkg, allowing
the user to select a subset of LINGUAS, disabling NLS, non-presence of
po4a, uses a flat hierarchy (which I find to be nicer) and mostly it
avoids code duplication and too many Makefiles. I'm still not entirely
happy with the Makefile.am, but it's gotten better, I guess ideally I'd
see the install/uninstall handled internally by po4a.
