Description
This is a follow-up for #4459.
po directory needs to be treated specially. It does not fully use automake macros and SED is not substituted in generated Makefiles.
The only way to add new automatically substituted variable to the Makefile is to add it to Makefile.in.in, however this file is replaced automatically by autopoint (with -f flag).
All other files, like Makevars or Rules-pot-defaults, are not processed by configure for variable substitution.
The best way to use sed command in this dir is to rely on shell automatic substitution. It does not use sed found by configure, but the script is portable enough, so with the suggest patch "make dist" works without overcomplication.
The suggested fix: https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc/pull/191
