I didn't realize that, good to know.

Now, one of some of Gnome's developer's objections is that gettextize 
touches po/ChangeLog, which they say should only be touched by humans.  
Why did gettextize start doing this ?

A personal question I have which I don't understand properly, is how 
gettextize should now be used.  In the past I used to run gettextize as 
part of autogen.sh on my projects.  It seems that this is not the right 
way to do it.
Am I supposed to run gettextize only once, and commit all of the resulting 
files to cvs ? Or should gettextize be run each time in autogen.sh ?
The GNOME project's gnome-autogen.sh runs it each time in autogen.sh.

Thanks,
Thomas
