I tried the extract.php file, but that gave me 3 .pot files general.pot, onlinestatus-module.pot and messengers-inc-php.pot. The Translator's guide suggest to have one modulename.pot file in the module/po folder.
AFAIK the strings in general.pot should not be included in your pot file as they are also in Drupal core. It's to avoid different translations of the same strings.
General.pot can be a general.pot of a contrib module. This file is generated anywhere, if strings are present in more then one file.
