Comment (by yskin):

 {{{
 -c, --add-comments[=TAG]
 place comment block with TAG (or those preceding keyword lines) in output
 file
 }}}

 I found it in the output of "xgettext --help".

 Use this code:
 {{{
 /*auto comment*/
 __('test');
 }}}
 Will get this in .pot file:
 {{{
 #. auto comment
 msgid "test"
 msgstr ""
 }}}

 The comment begin with “#.” is xgettext automatic comment. poEdit show it
 in the top right box.

 But I don't know how to use the "TAG". Maybe we can use a special tag for
 translate description.

 Update:

 I have known how to use "TAG".

 Code:
 {{{
 /*desc: auto comment */
 __('test');
 }}}
 xgettext:
 {{{
 --add-comments=desc
 }}}
 .pot file:
 {{{
 #. desc: auto comment
 msgid "test"
 msgstr ""
 }}}
 “desc: auto comment” will be shown in the top right box in poEdit.

 Sorry for my poor english. What about this method?
