I'm not quite understanding what you mean here Christian, if I'm
compiling a release and I want to cut down the compile times for testing
it I can comment out like above and it wont recompile the po files? I
would love to cut out the msmerge part of the process, as Jon said this
take ages and when I'm compiling multiple times just to make sure things
work as expected it is a pita.
