Yeesh.  For things that contain simple generation timestamps, we could
probably make some filters to take those out.  e2fsprogs has something
like that:

[root at localhost e2fsprogs-1.40.2]# cat ./po/remove-potcdate.sin
# Sed script that remove the POT-Creation-Date line in the header entry
# from a POT file.
....

but for anything which contains uuids generated at build time... good
luck I guess! :)
