Hi Kevin,

See below.

I tried this and hit issues. I *think* the issue is that this command *updates* 
a pot file, but doesn't generate one. Please correct if wrong.

man po4a shows in the first EXAMPLE that to *generate* the pot file, one may use 
po4a-gettextize

when I try this as follows:
    $ po4a-gettextize -f tex -m 
/home/knitzsche/src/ubuntu-developer-manual/ubuntu-developer-manual/main.tex -p 
boil.pot
    Use of uninitialized value $newfilepath in string eq at 
/usr/share/perl5/Locale/Po4a/TeX.pm line 962, <KPSEA> line 11.
    po4a::tex: Can't find
               /home/knitzsche/src/ubuntu-developer-manual/ubuntu-developer-manual
               /main.tex with kpsewhich

I get the kpsewhich error (above).

Does kpsewhich need to know its *engine* (hinted at by 'man kpsewhich')?

Or Is there some env variable needed?
(
Perhaps $TEXINPUTS
