If you want to output a PO file, even when it will be virtually empty, use the
option "--force-po".

The relevant info is in the "xgettext --help"'s output and in this manual page:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/xgettext-Invocation.html>
> The source is available here:

I think you should also take a look at the value of XGETTEXT_OPTIONS in the file
po/Makevars in that tarball.
