I cannot test this right now (i'm not at my personal computer) but i guess 
this way it might work for me, too. I'm using a very recent cmake version.

But is building in a dedicated build directory really necessary? 
Some translation teams might get confused. OTOH it makes it easier to keep .po 
files and other generated stuff separated.

BTW: I'm subscribed to the list, no need to CC me.
