Add HELP_POT variable (1.02 KB, patch)

Description Michael Terry 2011-06-28 11:47:16 UTC 
Currently, the pot file name used by YELP_HELP_RULES is generated directly from HELP_ID.

But a common situation is that a program will have a normal pot file called "progname.pot" and want to also define HELP_ID as "progname".  Which means their help pot will also be called "progname.pot", leading to confusion.

My special use case is to help Launchpad translations differentiate between my program's pot file and my help's pot file, but it's confusing even if you just have them both opened in a text editor.

I could imagine a couple solutions: either adding an optional HELP_POT variable or maybe just always appending "-help" to the HELP_ID when generating the pot name.

The HELP_POT variable looks good to me. I've pushed this to master. Thanks.
