Using sed in the Makefile is fine.

I think this parser is overkill. How about something like this (just
typing, not testing):

    podir = 'subversion/po'
    filtered_podir = ...
    for file in os.listdir(podir):
      if file[-3:] != '.po':
        continue
      _filter_charser(podir, file), filtered_podir)

    def _filter_charser(source, file, target):
      f = open(os.path.join(source, file), 'rb')
      content = f.read()
      f.close()
      f = open(os.path.join(target, file), 'wb')
      f.write(string.replace(content, 'Content-Type: ....', ''))
      f.close()

I don't think we need anything more complicated than this sed-like
replacement in the Windows build.
