Comment from mga#10853

The real problem is in generating Makefile in po subdir. This short patch 
allows to bypass this bug by simply adding a non-empty line (with just a 
single tab symbol) after "POTFILES = \" line in po/Makefile.in.in . 
Without this additional non-empty line the next non-empty line 
(that contains CATALOGS variable definition) gets removed in resulting Makefile.
