Hello Aaron.  Because PO4A uses different command-line options and we
apparently need to provide a config file, IMHO this patch should wait
until [0] is settled.

Closing; a similar change that takes into account po4a’s new po4a.cfg
system has been pushed in patch bug#63483.

Even though the po4a maintainers are planning to add cases to continue
using the old tools, apparently:
