According to
http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/reports/2018Q3/NetBSD-8.0-x86_64/20181109.1909/pan-0.145nb1/build.log
it uses msgfmt --xml and msgfmt --desktop.

I can find that in pan-0.145/Makefile.am:

pan.desktop: pan.desktop.in
        $(AM_V_GEN)$(MSGFMT) --desktop --template $< -d $(top_srcdir)/po -o $@
[...]
pan.appdata.xml: pan.appdata.xml.in
        $(AM_V_GEN)$(MSGFMT) --xml --template $< -d $(top_srcdir)/po -o $@

I suppose I can do without those files (I don't use any "desktop"
anyway), but it would make the package incomplete for others.
