If we are editing manually po-files only, question is how should
msgmerge handle this when we are updating po-files with latest
pot-files. I have tried this, kde-style msgids in po-s are of course
not preserved, when in pot files strings are not unified, that means
we should separate strings in pot file... as pot file is generated
from sdf with every new milestone, it will be very annoying to do this
manually every time ;)
I will stay at my opinion, having the white-list (if this is possible
to teach to translate-toolkit of course) with one addition: strings in
list must be unified only in this case, when they are repeating in one
pot file, eg. if word 'start' is in list and it appears in a pot file
only once as whole string, it should stay with old msgid, if it is
repeating in other pot file e.g. twice, then split should be done only
in this pot file.
