Concatenates and merges the specified PO files. Find messages
which are common to two or more of the specified PO files. By
using the --more-than option, greater commonality may be
requested before messages are printed. Conversely, the
--less-than option may be used to specify less commonality before
messages are printed (i.e. --less-than=2 will only print the
unique messages). Translations, comments, extracted comments,
and file positions will be cumulated, except that if --use-first
is specified, they will be taken from the first PO file to define
them.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short
options too.
