According to Python documentation[1] dirname and basename
are defined as follows:
os.path.dirname() = os.path.split()[0]
os.path.basename() = os.path.split()[1]
For the purpose of better readability split() is replaced
by appropriate function if only one part of returned tuple
is used.

Grammatically, this full stop isn't needed and with file names it has a
potential to be confusing:
Installing /foo/bar/filename.1 to /foo/bar/dirname.
The full stop caused me to do a double-take more than once, so let's drop it.
In the case of subproject we will properly setup the --subdir argument
but the MESON_SUBDIR is never adapted and will point to an empty string
leading to the following backtrace when building `gst-build`:
msgfmt: error while opening "/home/thiblahute/devel/gstreamer/gst-build/af.po" for reading: No such file or directory

Using 'mesonbuild' as the module can cause it to use the
system-installed module and can also break if we rename the directory,
so avoid that by always using relative imports.
For each project this creates a <project>-update-po target.
When ran this updates the pot file and then merges it back
into the po files in the source directory with `msgmerge`
for project maintainers and translators.
Fixes#819
In autotools POTFILES is generated at configure time from POTFILES.in,
but Meson only looks for a po/POTFILES in the source directory, which
is awkward when trying to maintain both build systems in parallel.
Instead just use POTFILES.in as fallback if it exists but POTFILES
does not. Also print an error if neither exists.
Fixes#818
