Alright I've integrated babel. From now on this is how we should
regenerate the catalogs:

  # if not already installed
easy_install Babel
# Extract to .pot
python setup.py extract_messages
# Merge .pot to .pos
python setup.py update_catalog
# Compile .pos to .mos
python setup.py compile_catalog

(you can chain those in one setup.py command)

I've recompiled the .mos and fixed a couple string formatting errors
that Babel reported (due to changed messages that were merged).

Beware that babel's compile_catalog has a bug where it'll blow up on
escaped formatting strings (i.e. %%A) -- and we have one of those.
This is already fixed on Babel trunk, but note that it unfortunately
requires a couple extra steps to install (see 
http://babel.edgewall.org/wiki/SubversionCheckout)
. If anyone wants the catalogs recompiled before a new Babel release
is out, email me and I'll do it.

It'd be nice if our awesome translators could take a look at the new
missing and fuzzy entries, here's our current coverage:
