Well it took 'till today before I had time to look at it, but here are
the results:
I fixed the po-file parser of poedit to the end that it now knows about
autocomments (#.). Upstream already included (in cvs) a panel in the
editor frame which shows translator comments. I added a second panel 
that shows the autocomments. Note that you can switch it off in the
'View' menu.

I made a deb including this fix and the spelling checker and put it
here:
http://www.famdijkstra.org/~tdykstra/debian/poedit/poedit_1.2.5-1.2_i386.deb

The version number is 1.2.5 because I didn't want to interfere with the
regular debs. It is however a cvs snapshot of today with my patches
applied.

I also send this upstream, I'm not sure if he'll accept it in this form.
So don't get to fond of the new view of you're poedit;)
