Maybe it could be possible to tune the scripts to be smart and not generate the template if no messages are found? Albert, Aurelien (or anyone else) do you remember what was decided?

Of course having a Message.sh won't prevent major fuckups if people don't care, but it should help a bit. Now with "pure" xgettext a Messsages.sh won't create a .po unless there's one string or more. I guess it's the .ts to .po conversion that ends up creating an empty .po file

* empty template might confuse translators + translation apps (not lokalize, ignores it silently)

* consistent behaviour of our tools, and I'd prefer the behaviour of gettext: no msg - no template
