Yes, I can build it manually, but it isn't built nor installed
automaticaly with make (I think it should).

Well, I seem to remember that Denis said it will be difficult to do with
encodings. I don't really remember.
I could also add a -z option to gunzip files before opening.
I think we don't need it. The gunzipping is only needed by a particular
type of documents. Others will need other treatments. It would be nice to
send po4a a document by stdin, enabling any treatment with pipes, but if
it's difficult, I think it's important to mantain it simple.

I added this to README:
USE WITHOUT INSTALLATION
If you want to use a version without installing it (such as the CVS one),
use the PERLLIB environment variable is such construction:
PERLLIB=~/CVSIMPORT/po4a/lib ~/CVSIMPORT/po4a/po4a-gettextize [usual args]
Thanks! It's very useful.

It depends on the way you installed it. I get it in french...
I've been looking it, and I saw that translations are not automaticaly
installed. I tried with:
make -C po install
and after upgrading gettext to 0.13, it seems now the po/bin/*.po catalogs
are installed. In spite of this, I can't get any translated message at
runtime.
The translations in po/pod/*.po aren't currently used to generate any
final file (as translated man's), are they?
While messing with the translations, I've updated po/bin/es.po (diff
attached).
