Hi Chris,

Damned-Lies supports special way to generate pot files, under two
conditions:
- the custom script should apply in a clean tree (that is without
requiring an autogen/configure)
- the custom script should be written in a 'standard' (no troll intent!)
language (e.g. bash, perl, python).

Another way would be to commit the pot file in Git and Damned-Lies could
use it to generate stats. I know it's suboptimal to commit generated
files, but it would be a workaround.
