There is a package for linux which is part of the kde project. A short
documentation can be found here:
<http://anakin.ncst.ernet.in/~aparna/consolidated/x3865.html> (Section
18.3.6 poxml).

The "only" problem I see is to compile these tools under windows. We would
just need the first two (xml2pot and po2xml).

Source is available at:
<http://webcvs.kde.org/kdesdk/poxml/#dirlist>

The toolchain would be:
1) convert english xml -> pot (xml2pot)
2) use poEdit to merge and edit the language.po files
3) convert language.po -> xml (po2xml)
4) run our normal build script to create the docs.

As you can see, the only obviuous difference for producing the docs would be
that the country specific xml source is not in the repository anymore, but
must be generated with a script.

Cheers
