Fix for make unportability

petere · petere · commit 58b4f366c0c4 · 2022-07-13T09:15:01.000+02:00
88dad06 contains a make $(shell) construct that apparently confuses older GNU make versions (possibly because of the # inside the shell command?). This construct, which would allow # comments inside LINGUAS files, was adapted from gettext recommendations, but we don't actually need that functionality, so sidestep this whole issue by just using plain "cat". In passing, make this code work with vpath.
