msghack - alter PO files in ways

msghack [OPTION] file.po [ref.po]

This program can be used to alter .po files in ways no sane mind would think about.

result will be written to FILE
invert a po file by switching msgid and msgstr
join any number of files in a master-formatted catalog
empty the contents of the .po file, creating a .pot
append entries from ref.po that don't exist in file.po

Note: It is just a replacement of msghack for backward support.
