I removed the form from po-mode.el; please, load the separate
po-compat.el file.  Example:

(autoload 'po-mode "po-mode")
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.po[tx]?\\'" . po-mode)
                            auto-mode-alist))

;; To automatically use proper fonts under Emacs 20/21, also add:

(unless (featurep 'po-find-file-coding-system)
  (autoload 'po-find-file-coding-system "po-compat"))
(modify-coding-system-alist 'file "\\.po[tx]?\\'"
                            'po-find-file-coding-system)

Background: Current Emacs CVS version ("21.3.50") and the next Emacs
major release will come with `po-find-file-coding-system' on its own to
display .po files properly without loading po-mode.el.
