There is a wp-theme project. Type php makepot.php to see them all.

Until recently (a couple of hours) makepot.php used xgettext arguments
to fill in some meta information. Unfortunately some of these
functionality isn't available to older xgettext version. That's why if
you svn up yo the latest version of makepot.php you'll see that the
problem is gone. All metadata is just substituted in the generated POT
file.

Happy hacking,
Nikolay.
