Currently `makemessages` converts templates to pseudo-Python which is then
passed to xgettext tool. Similar pattern is used for JavaScript files
(using pseudo-Perl).
Babel instead provides an extensible API to define custom extractors. It
also handles message catalogs without using xgettext, which removes a
binary dependency from Django.
