I think, for my purposes, I could make do with a server-side (in the
ADT sense) converter from .po to .do and back again.  (I would then
always assume .po at the Apple end.)  Would NufxLib be my solution to
do the conversion?  Not that rearranging sectors would be all that
hard, but if there were a ready-made solution...
