Hi David,

Yes, this is exactly the problem.  I have yet to receive a reply from
the po4a people, so I'm a bit stuck in making it build in a separate
build directory.

I could certainly copy some of the srcdir contents into the builddir
in order to build.  But that's really just working around a po4a bug,
so I would much rather have po4a work properly in the long run.  I'll
ask them again, and if I still fail to get a response, I'll use the
above workaround.


Thanks,
Roger
