4466	"""make dist"" failed with error in ""po"" dir"	karlson2k	andrew_b	"This is a follow-up for #4459.

`po` directory needs to be treated specially. It does not fully use automake macros and `SED` is not substituted in generated Makefiles.
The only way to add new automatically substituted variable to the Makefile is to add it to Makefile.in.in, however this file is replaced automatically by `autopoint` (with `-f` flag).
All other files, like `Makevars` or `Rules-pot-defaults`, are not processed by configure for variable substitution.
The best way to use `sed` command in this dir is to rely on shell automatic substitution. It does not use `sed` found by `configure`, but the script is portable enough, so with the suggest patch ""make dist"" works without overcomplication.

The suggested fix: https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc/pull/191"	defect	closed	major	4.8.30	compilation	master	fixed					merged	committed-master
