This is what I do for the fi_FI translation.

There is a tool called wp-gettext in the tools directory of the i18n
repository:

    http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-i18n/tools/trunk/wp-gettext

This script changes over time, and now for 2.0 there is a tag as well.

I'm using a modified version that provides for easier diffs of the POT
file.  The original script results in a POT file where files can change
their order (depending on files added and deleted to the directories),
so I'm sorting the files first.

    http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-i18n/fi_FI/trunk/wp-gettext.sh

Actually, to get the best behaviour from poEdit, the script should
refer to all files relative from the wp-includes/languages directory.
This way Edit -> Show References would work out-of-the-box.

Regards,
