Yep, I like this.

It does mean that people who run "make pot" have to be a little more
vigilant about not keeping around extra .h files by mistake.  But I
trust them.

Tiny nit: I might use

        $(shell $(FIND) * \
                -name . -o
                -name '.*' -prune -o \
                -name t -prune -o \
                -name Documentation -prune -o \
                -name '*.h' -print)

or

        $(shell $(FIND) * \
                -name '.?*' -prune -o \
                -name t -prune -o \
                -name Documentation -prune -o \
                -name '*.h' -print)

to avoid spending time looking in other dot-directories like .svn,
.hg, or .snapshot.
