msgmerge has the -C option.  One can probably play smart and create
separate PO files (one gotten from compendium, another with usual
msgmerge), then use msgattrib to set all in compendium-one as fuzzy
(and remove all the rest), and then merge again with this one and
regularly merged one.

Ok, I know it sounds tricky, but it seems possible.

Does anyone actually want me to add such support to damned-lies? ;)
File a bug, and start preparing compendiums :)


Cheers,
Danilo
