IMO, the commentary in the po.el file is *very* sparse, and it is hard
to see when this file is needed, and for what purpose...
Also, IMHO, the name 'po.el' doesn't suggest anything about this being
an "extract" of a larger po-mode.el.
Maybe one of po-file.el, po-view.el, po-find.el, po-mule.el,
po-basic.el, or po-coding.el would be a better choice.
Should this go into lisp/textmodes/ or lisp/international/ ?
