Ooops.

+1. We've repeatedly forgotten to update the nls.mk files when
adding/removing files; they're just not on most hackers' radar.
Anything we can do to make that more automatic seems like a win.

I wonder if there's anything we can do about the manual cross-references
to src/common. We could wildcard that, but then every FE program would
have to contain translations for all messages in src/common/, even for
modules it doesn't use.

Still, wildcarding the local *.c references seems like a clear step
forward. I'll go push that part.
