Make .gmo files for distributions.

Hi Guys,

Any objections to the following patch ? It adds code to the
do-proto-toplev target to build *.gmo files from their respective
.po files as part of a distribution.

I was prompted to make this change because of an email from Bruno
Haible, the GNU gettext maintainer:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-gnu-utils/2001-11/msg00130.html

He points out that not all hosts have the gettext utilities
installed, and so they cannot be expected to build the .gmo files if
they are not present in a distribution.

Cheers
Nick
