 13.4.4 Extending `Makefile' in `po/'
 ------------------------------------
 
 All files called `Rules-*' in the `po/' directory get appended to the
 `po/Makefile' when it is created.  They present an opportunity to add
 rules for special PO files to the Makefile, without needing to mess
 with `po/Makefile.in.in'.
 
    GNU gettext comes with a `Rules-quot' file, containing rules for
 building catalogs `en@quot.po' and `en@boldquot.po'.  The effect of
 `en@quot.po' is that people who set their `LANGUAGE' environment
 variable to `en@quot' will get messages with proper looking symmetric
 Unicode quotation marks instead of abusing the ASCII grave accent and
 the ASCII apostrophe for indicating quotations.  To enable this
 catalog, simply add `en@quot' to the `po/LINGUAS' file.  The effect of
 `en@boldquot.po' is that people who set `LANGUAGE' to `en@boldquot'
 will get not only proper quotation marks, but also the quoted text will
 be shown in a bold font on terminals and consoles.  This catalog is
 useful only for command-line programs, not GUI programs.  To enable it,
 similarly add `en@boldquot' to the `po/LINGUAS' file.
 
    Similarly, you can create rules for building message catalogs for the
 `sr@latin' locale - Serbian written with the Latin alphabet - from
 those for the `sr' locale - Serbian written with Cyrillic letters.  See
  msgfilter Invocation.
