intltool should support whatever format gettext does as well. You
should be able to use standard intltool makefiles as well, though I am
not sure how one would integrate them into packaging info: intltool
approach is usually applied on the bare version-controlled tree, not
against a tarball with pre-built makefiles and such.

To get intltool to extract messages from shell files, if they have no
extension, you might need to prefix entries in POTFILES.in with
[gettext/shell], i.e.

[gettext/shell] debian/local/Failsafe/failsafeXinit
