I'm not sure if msgmerge will be up to that.
But a little bit of sed magic should get us there.
That does not have to happen any time soon though, since we probably
can't ship msgctxt-containing .po files until the next gettext is
widespread, anyway.
The important thing to get started soon is the conversion
Q_("foo|bar") -> Q2_("foo", "bar")
so that we are done with that when the time is ripe to rely on msgctxt.

glib requires ngettext. We don't define a shorthand macro for that,
though, and N_() is already taken for noop...
