Darn .mo files! Right, they should be binaries. And yes, Tres is right, just 
use msgfmt to create a new .mo file from the .po. BTW, I describe how this is 
done in part 3 of the I18N.txt file in the zwiki product.

I think Jim is totally right; we should have a Python tool that generates mo 
files from po files. I think the code for this is already written, we just 
have to hook it up to the build mechanism.
