It may be the wrong way, but it's the quickest way in'nit?

But yeah, you want the source to be in good shape going forward so
that some other poor hacker doesn't have to do this.

You could write a script (or maybe just use rpl) to do all the .po
replacements for you. Generate a list by diffing the original .po with
the version generated from your revised source files. Now you have a
list of old=>new pairs that you can apply in the other files.
