There's a problem with Gimp translation status generation: POT file is not
generated correctly, because POTFILES.in contains the file that is no
longer in the CVS.

I don't feel very safe with all the complications of Gimp i18n handling
(different directories, etc), so I don't want to change anything myself
(unless approved, of course).

As a quick check, I've ran (I didn't use intltool-update -m, for the same
reasons as above):

for i in `sed s/\#.*// POTFILES.in | sort| uniq`; do \
  if [ ! -f ../$i ]; then \
    echo $i; \
  fi; done


Which gave the following output:
app/core/gimp-grid.c

So, this one file should probably be removed from POTFILES.in. 

The same is true for the only file in POTFILES.skip:
data/misc/gimp.desktop.in which is probably replaced with
gimp.desktop.in.in as mentioned in POTFILES.in.
