xgettext and the comments at the top of the .pot file

[Phil Edwards]

Hello.

When using a command such as

    xgettext --default-domain=foo --join-existing -o .../foo.pot  ...

is there any way to tell xgettext to /not/ regenerate the comments at the
top of the foo.pot file?  E.g., to take them from the existing file.  This

        # SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
        # Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
        # This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE 
package.
        # FIRST AUTHOR <address@hidden>, YEAR.

is tedious to recreate by hand.  --foreign-user/--copyright-holder only
change one of those lines, not all 4.  Surely I'm missing something here;
package maintainers would get sick of rewriting this text each time a new
string literal is extracted.
