Further investigation of the command line options for localize.pl is 
probably the right way to do it.  The oo2po and po2oo parts should work 
without any changes.

I looked through my old emails and can't find anything about x-comments 
extraction, was probably discussed on IRC.  I've forward you the email I 
wrote about how it should work with oo2po and po2oo.

Rimas: don't worry seems Andras is on this
