A convenience library doesn't work, because I have pretty many
different CPP defines, probably set either in configure, or
in a config file.

And a single Makefile.am file instead of one file for each
module is not modular. The set of modules to build is not
constant, either.

Of course I appreciate your workaround, but please remember
that this thread is about generating a meaningfull error
message for a construct that autoconf/automake cannot
handle. But maybe there is a way to generate the *.Po files
from the Makefile?
