We might want to not ship some translations, so I think globbing with a
blacklist is the way to go. Crudely off the top of my head,

BLACKLIST=translations not fit for general consumption
LINGUAS=$(filter-out $(BLACKLIST),$(basenmae $(wildcard *.po)))

The blacklist might not be needed, and this snippet is probably a
gnuism. 

The entire i18n situation is fragile, the build process, the translation
process and the actual code. I'm first trying to get fr.po working as it
should on OSX, we'll see what's next from there.
