That's not a bug. xgettext occurs before the sources are generated, so
there is no way it can extract strings from there. And the POT file
_cannot_ depend on _conditionally_ built sources for obvious reasons.
Otherwise, we couldn't generate the PO template from, say, OSX.

autopoint is in used for bootstrapping, which has nothing to do with
generating the PO template. The two might not even occur on the same
system/tree.
