 POT file for plugins can be downloaded using generator on plugin's admin
 page. This is a bit inconvenient, because I have to upload new plugin
 version first, then download .pot file, update Polish translation files
 and after this continue with plugin version release. I would like to have
 ability to generate .pot file from WP itself. I know about
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/I18n_for_WordPress_Developers#Generating_a_POT_file
 wordpress-i18n tools], but they are unix-only (they use `system()` to call
 external gettext utilities).

 Therefore I ask to integrate .pot file generation functionality into WP
 core, or (better) create plugin which will do this. Of course it should be
 platform-independent.
