If you are talking about obsolete messages ( which are commented out
with # ) , you can look at
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/msgattrib-Invocation.html,
but as Johannes stated that keeping this messages if useful because of
the possibility of reappearing in the future. If you are not sure, it
does not a good idea I think.
