[PATCH 0/1] old-fashioned suffix rules cannot have any prerequisites

[Petr Ovtchenkov]

Template po/Makefile.in.in use old-fashioned suffix rules
for generating .gmo. But this rules do not allow any prerequisites.

See:

https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Suffix-Rules.html#Suffix-Rules

<snip>
  Suffix rules cannot have any prerequisites of their own. If they have
  any, they are treated as normal files with funny names, not as suffix
  rules. Thus, the rule:
  ...
</snip>

This lead to problem when used relatively new GNU Make:
<snip>
  make[3]: *** No rule to make target 'en.gmo', needed by ...
</snip>

In this patch I am avoid significant changes and gmake-specific
syntax. BTW, looks, that "%ts: %ds" notaion is preferable for BSD make too:

(Implicit Rules section).
