This would be a lot easier if we switched from the abandonware called
CVS (to be orphaned in Debian if it isn't already) and used SVN.

update-po is not a standard target but we shouldn't try to rebuild
every PO every time any change is made in the sources, so it is now a
specific target, to be run when the package is in an appropriate state
that a round of translations is due.

In most cases of packages using po4a-build, the po/ directory is
just ./po/ and the PO updates are done manually with intltool-update -r

(which is all that the update-po target now does, albeit with the -g
switch to make intltool happy with po/bin)
