I don't understand exactly what you mean by that. I want to be able to 
use poedit on indexed files. So I will have to use a a harvester to 
create the po files. poedit can then take care of versioning issues. 
There is the MLL library[1], but it saves it's strings in YAML format. I 
have nothing against YAML, but the problem is that you cannot use the 
tools that already exist for working with po files.

I also tried to find a gettext mailing list where I could report this 
issue, but there doesn't seem to be one. Or did I just not find it?
