[i18n] improvement of po Makefile

[Wenzhuo Zhang]

Hi,

I suggest the following change to the po Makefiles (using
imp/po/Makefile as an example):

--- Makefile	2004-12-03 12:20:56.000000000 +0800
+++ Makefile.new	2004-12-03 12:19:39.000000000 +0800

The motivation is to enable the compilation of a single po file, e.g.:

$ make zh_CN.po
Checking for os ...
Compiling locale zh_CN:
612 translated messages, 5 fuzzy translations.
  ... done


It could help saving time for translators.

Best regards,
