[xiphos-devel] "make clean" removes po/*.po

[Greg Hellings]

Interesting - CMake thinks that this is a generated file. If it is
generated then "make clean" should properly clean it out. But it's also
trying to open "ar.po" in order to clean "ar.po". Which doesn't make much
sense.

I don't know how .po files work. Are they generated?
