Make PO task

[bradyvercher]

Aside from copying and renaming the file, is there anything else this task would need to accomplish?

👍 GaryJones. If there needed features for grunt-potomo then you can sumbit the PR :)

@shivapoudel I'm not worried if it's a task in wp-i18n or potomo or in a standalone (little more than a wrapper around grunt-contrib-copy) task that can take the src of a .pot, and copy it to a dest, renamed, and have any headers updated for it.

I guess a comparison of WP core .pot vs en_GB (or another language) .po would reveal what, if any, changes in headers there were.

If I'm writing a plugin, and someone new clones it and wants to write me a French translation, I want them to be able to do something like grunt makepo fr_FR, and have the .po setup in the location I've determined, ready for them to work on it.

Does that make sense?

I put together a quick task for doing this in the feature-makepo branch. It'll be awhile before I have time to wrap up the tests and docs, so feel free to submit PRs or suggest improvements.

@bradyvercher when will this ship to the users. I think now we have to merge feature-makepo branch.

[GaryJones]

It's on my list to test this branch. Got distracted last night but will try this week.
