The PO system is meant to do that automatically.  When you use 'make po' 
and a PO file already exists, the new changes are merged with the 
existing PO file.  A PO editor will normally show the new strings to be 
translated at the top.

If that is not working, please describe the process you use so we can 
try to debug it.

Thanks!
