The standard resource formats for .NET are .txt, .resx, and .resources.  We 
support .po only to ease migration of existing string resources to the 
standard formats.  To that end, it is now *possible* to migrate, even if it 
isn't necessarily *trivial*.  I suggest that you modify msgfmt and msgunfmt 
directly if you want anything more complicated than what resgen can do.
