po-generated has the *dependencies* - but the lists of files in
po-generated's dependency lists never get passed to exgettext.  When the
generated files were in the source directory, the dependencies meant they
were generated before exgettext was called, which was enough as it
searches the source directory for files to extract messages from.  Now the
generated files aren't in the source directory, exgettext needs to know
which generated files from the build directory to search for messages.  
At present options.c is hard-coded in exgettext, but passing a last of all
the relevant files on the command line (rather than hardcoding options.c)
is the right solution.
