How the behaviour of "msgmerge" will change with your patch, i.e.
where the results of "wdiff" will be written? If the diffs go into
"previous" ("#|"-d) messages, that may be unexpected for some
translators and software. I suggest adding "diffed-to-previous" flags
to all messages that contain wdiffs in previous msgid/msgctxts, or
adding a per-file flag into the .po header.
