Well, you describe a nice technical way to extract such text from the C++ 
sources. But what is really the *interest* of getting such a list of GUI 
texts used by an application? The po file contains them intermingled with 
other stuff, but who cares that it is a mixture? You know which ones are menu 
items, gui buttons, gui labels and so on from the docbook file.
