Basically OK. But please check if they really need to be mentioned in
POTFILES.in. IMO not every file needs to be listed. IMO there are only three
reasons why this should be done:
- they do contain translatable messages.
- they contain functions doing output and thus have a parameter
called msgid (the exgettext script needs to see them).
- contain messages that should not be translated like debugging routines
or code that is part of the gen* tools. Like the ones you add
commented out.
It's easier to just add new files to the list, but why process files that
don't need to be? So I'd say it would be better to really check the files
before listing them in POTFILES.in.
