"""Remove '#, fuzzy' marker lines from .po files.
 
CPython's Tools/i18n/msgfmt.py treats a stray fuzzy flag on the file
header as applying to every entry in the file, silently producing an
empty .mo catalog. Since our translations are complete (not actually
rough drafts), we strip the marker before compiling.
