Bug#580405: intltool: Comments from Glade-like files not extracted with fallback language

[Mathias Brodala]

Package: intltool
Version: 0.41.1-1
Severity: normal

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Without a fallback language passed to xgettext like --language=Python,
comments from Glade-like files are extracted and put into the .pot just
fine.

However, since I have files to extract messages from without file
extension I need to specify a fallback language.

Doing this however prevents the comments from getting put into the .pot
file. See the attached test case for clarification. (Run the two scripts
and examine the difference in the resulting .pot files.)
