Either way, wrapping strings with _() (or P_("context", "string") for
context sensitive strings) marks them for translation by gettext. This
is the most important step (as it's not automated, nor can be automated).
From that point on the strings can be _automatically_ extracted by
xgettext, and combined with msgmerge, be merged with the .po files. This
is currently only handled by the autotools build system or the raw
Makefiles. It is (as I said), _not_ the most important step though,
marking the strings for translation is. (I.e. the developer is more
important than the computer).
PS You'll have to forgive me for my nearly poetic approach here. I like
turning mails into novels ;-)

The .pot is generated by xgettext.
The .po files are initialy generated from it using msginit.
They are later updated from the .pot file using msgmerge.
The .mo files used on runtime are compiled by msgfmt.
All those tools are to be found in gettext. If you cannot compile it with
MSVC, I can do it for you.
Important files controlling this process are all in the po/ directory of the
sources:
Makevars
Makefile.in.in
POTFILES.in
LINGUAS
Makefile.raw is a simplified version of Makefile.in.in (thus may be more
usefull to get basic gettext support to MSVC).

What do you mean with 'automatically', does gettext get launched
during compilations or something? I was wondering how to generate
the .po templates.

Done.
All you need to do is to add _() around a string, like this:
printf( "Untranslated string");
printf(_("Translated string"));
Gettext will then parse the files to extract the strings to translate
automatically.
