I'm with Barry here: You shouldn't have xgettext as part of the build
or install commands. Providing a different command would be fine. For
msgfmt, having that as a build step would be useful.

However, more important, to me, seems to define a mechanism to
smoothly install .mo files, in a location where gettext would find
them.
