To convert a .po file to UTF-8 use something like the following code
(tested with iso-8859-1 and EUC-KR); I guess you already wrote such a
script:

#!/bin/sh
# po2utf8.sh
po=$1
charset=$(sed -n -e '/^"Content/{s/.*=\(.*\)\\n"/\1/;p;q;}' "$po")
sed -e 's/^\("Content-Type:.*=\).*/\1UTF-8\\n"/' "$po" \
  | iconv --from-code $charset --to-code=UTF-8
# po2utf8.sh ends here

Once gettext-0.11 is released, please use 'msgconv'.

It must happen a little bit earlier; at .mo file creation time.  In
po/Makefile.in.in look for the .po.gmo target and replace $(GMSGFMT)
basically with

    po2utf8.sh $po | msgfmt -

You can quickly check the result running 'msgunfmt' on the .mo file.
