The info you showed is not sufficient for me to give a definite answer.
I can find a download location of hbstock-1.1.5 at sourceforge.net, but no
hbstock-2.0.8.tar.gz.

From that hbstock-1.1.5, I see that you actually have translation catalogs
and want them distributed? Possibly you have not specified 'po' among the
SUBDIRS in the toplevel Makefile.am. I recommend using the gettextize script
instead of tweaking the various files by hand. Note that gettextize is
supported only on Unix platforms; this includes cygwin but not mingw.
Since you are on a Woe32 platform, take a look for a Cygwin build of the
gettext tools (even if afterwards, you link with the mingw build of the
gettext library).
