Looking at the i18n procedure it rely on poedit reading the headers of
the .po file just to update and collect the strings from sources.

Since this is done by means of a manual procedure started by humans and
not updated automatically, it is necessary to save with the sources even
the .mo files that are binary compiled from .po files that are the real
source files.

I already said that IMNSHO I consider this done badly if not totally
wrong.
