The problem is that there is a automatic checking script in GUB for
distribution of files in the tarball, and that without this script it is
too easy to miss in the makefiles new files added to Git.  I'll try to
take over merging lilypond/translation into master as soon as possible
(read: by this week-end), but don't worry I'll surely screw up sooner or
later as well, as long as I don't build GUB either :-P
