It was mentioned that verbosity can be overcome by looking at the differences
between the previous run and the current run. I use the attached script daily.

Not so far. But what I could do in the next gettext release is to use the
configure script as a collector for all the needed options: I could define
a macro AM_XGETTEXT_OPTION([option]) that would augment an AC_SUBSTed
variable which then gets used in po/Makefile, together with the
XGETTEXT_OPTIONS from po/Makevars. How does that sound?

Forgot about it. Of course, 'verror' should be handled like 'error'.
