Uhh isn't that overly complicated? Can't you do something that is
roughly similar to the sed script in the Makefile? I'd be really
surprised if python couldn't do that. But if it can't you could do it
with Perl. The Windows build already requires it.

For example:
perl -pe 's#^"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\\n"\n$##' es.po >
es.po.spo
