Yes, this is the --compendium option.

Basically a script like this should do it:

(assume ca-all.po is in current dir which is the CVS top dir)

for i in `find . -type f -name templates.pot`
do
  if [ ! -f `dirname $i`/ca.po ]
  then
    cp `dirname $i`/templates.pot `dirname $i`/ca.po
  fi
  msgmerge -C ca-all.po `dirname $i`/ca.po `dirname $i`/templates.pot
done

And then script something for filling in changelogs.

All this I can do as I wrote....but Steve also can.
