Sure it can, but it is much easier for translators to rename foo.pot into
ll.po and work on that file; it could also in the future be retrieved from
a web page similar to the Free Translation Project, visit
    http://www2.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard/po/registry.cgi?team=fr
and click on some program names, a link to the POT file is available.
