I wouldn't think so. It's implemention is very very simple. It can
only get this kind of strings: something("translate_me");

Perl is much better to match strings. It should be possible to build a
script that works with our mp_msg system. 

Arpi: The problem is matching the strings inside the c source not in
the mp_msg, so that xgettext can generate a master file. This
masterfile is then used to generate translations.
