Compare two Uniforum style .po files to check that both
contain the same set of msgid strings. The def.po file is an
existing PO file with the translations. The ref.pot file is
the last created PO file, or a PO Template file (generally
created by xgettext). This is useful for checking that you
have translated each and every message in your program.
Where an exact match cannot be found, fuzzy matching is used
to produce better diagnostics.</td></table>
