13.7 Creating a Distribution Tarball
====================================
In projects that use GNU ‘automake’, the usual commands for creating
a distribution tarball, ‘make dist’ or ‘make distcheck’, automatically
update the PO files as needed.
If GNU ‘automake’ is not used, the maintainer needs to perform this
update before making a release:
$ ./configure
$ (cd po; make update-po)
$ make distclean
