I tried one with this invocation:

msgfilter --no-wrap perl -e '$_ = do { local $/; <STDIN> }; s/^%s:
(.*)\n$/\1/;s/: %s\z/: %m/; print $_' < initdb.po > new.po

This gets the job done textually, but you will see errors from msgfmt
because the newlines of msgid and msgstr no longer match.

I didn't do it that way, which explains the above problems. We can try
it a few more times. :)
