I was still having difficulties with the Makefile you committed. There are some
patches attached which resolve them for me.

Helge, I am unclear what the po4a option '--msgid-bugs-address "Your Bugmail
<mail at example.com>"' is for. Is it required or should it be set to something
@upstream sysvinit?

Jesse, I have suggested making po4a optional. I wonder if some users might not
want to install and build the translated pages?

Any successfully translated manpages are now installed.

What do you both think?

Thanks

Mark
