Manpage translations in Makefiles

Browse Source 
The translated manpage generation has moved from scripts to
Makefiles. This asists with conditional building as well, no
need to regenerate the German pgrep man page if both
the original pgrep.1 and man-po/de.po is not changed.

My Makefile-fu fails me on producing a cross-product or double
iteration for languages and man pages. Until that is solved
each man page is explicitly built. No big deal but it doesn't
look elegant in the Makefile. Languages will be picked
up automatically if they are found in man-po, man-po/top or
man-po/ps

The README describes the three-step process for translating
the files, incase I forget or someone else wants to update them.

TRANSLATING MAN PAGES
There is a three-step process for translating man pages. Most
of the work happens in the man-po directory.
make -C man-po translate-templates
Creates the translation templates (the .pot files) for translators
to use as a base. These, along with the tar file, should be sent
to the tp-coorindator before release.
make get-trans
rsyncs the latest translated (.po) files for both the programs and
man pages.
make -C man-po translate-mans
This is also called in the dist-hook and is where the translation
magic happens. Take the original man page, the relevant .po file
and produce a translated man page in that language.
All of the man pages generated are found in
man-po/(LANG)/man(SECTION)/
