request oo2po --multifile option be abstracted to moz2po about translate

[davidfraser]

The option is already abstracted in convert/convert.py, we would need to add
more intelligence to make it work for mozilla though.
This is because in OOo, we are already dealing with a big file that we can
arbritrarily split up as we choose whereas in mozilla we really are dealing with
different files.

I am working on adding a —mergefile option to moz2po.

It is pretty nonintrusive

adding
parser.add_mergefile_option()
to moz2po.

adding
add_mergefile_option()
to convert.

adding a conditional to convertdtd and convertprop which calls
something like outputfile.merge(outputpoline)
instead of
outputfile.writelines(outputpolines)

So that instead of writing a new .po file file each time convert[dtd|prop] is
called, outputlines are merge via tools.pomerge into options.outputfile.

Right now I am hard codeing some file name to prevent mucking to much with
function signatures. Also it is pretty inefficent because I rerun pomerge for
each new file rather than pass an Mergefile object around.

Attached is a proposed patch that implements moz2po —mergefile upto the point
where it calls pomerge.mergeStub()

it is against translate-toolkit-0.8rc4.20051115
