I haven't messed with any of the po stuff, it'd be better if you did this.

Usually it's best for whoever created the mess to clean it up. But OK, I have just brutally replaced all strings in that dir with placeholders, added comments, and removed the dir from the po sources.

BTW there's one more reason why string duplication is bad, that I forgot to mention yesterday: aspiring coders who learn the codebase usually start by grepping for UI strings, so the duplicates can easily put them off track.
