Attached is a script I once used to convert property files to PO files.
Call it with the English properties as first argument and the
translated properties as second argument.  I would then try to merge
(msgmerge) the POT file created from the new Java sources (xgettext)
with the output from the script.  This process is untested, but I
thought I'd send the script before someone else tries to write one.
