Can the --po-base directory for gnulib be the same as the project's
po-base, or do they have to be distinct directories?  I'm kind of thinking
distinct, because Makevars is created differently between the two .pot files.

Not to mention that not all of gnulib's uses occur with the _ macro - for
example, xstrtol.h currently calls gettext directly, rather than going
through a macro, so that it won't pollute the user's namespace with a
conflicting _ macro.
