I should note that in the 2.1/2.2 branch, we have adopted using
intltools, and the file is gramps.pot. So now, we follow the standard
conventions.

When GRAMPS was started, the translation tools did not support python,
so we had to roll our own solution. Now that the tool have caught up
with python, we are adopting the standard methods of doing things.

So, for those of you who care, the old "build_po" script is gone, and we
now use intltool-extract. Also, the po directory is now at the top
level, instead of under src.
