Hi Werner,

lupdate has an option -no-obsolete :

$ lupdate
Usage:
    lupdate [options] [project-file]...
    lupdate [options] [source-file|path|@lst-file]... -ts ts-files|@lst-file

lupdate is part of Qt's Linguist tool chain. It extracts translatable
messages from Qt UI files, C++, Java and JavaScript/QtScript source code.
Extracted messages are stored in textual translation source files (typically
Qt TS XML). New and modified messages can be merged into existing TS files.

Options:
    -help  Display this information and exit.
    -no-obsolete
           Drop all obsolete and vanished strings.



I think the drawback of doing this always is that you loose some
'memory' when only the 'key' has been changed (instead of being
removed). But not 100% sure here..
