Won't this version number cause ordering problems later, by being 
considered as later than 3.1?  The previous snapshot one I specifically 
named as gcc-3.1-b20011219.pot because the docs

http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/maintainers.html

state the ordering as

            In your distribution, the POT file is probably named
            po/PACKAGE.pot, where PACKAGE is the name of your package.
            Within the Translation Project, your POT file is named 
            DOMAIN-VERSION.pot. DOMAIN is the textual domain for your 
            package, often the same as PACKAGE, but surely, all in lower
            case, and with gnu or g prefixes removed. VERSION may have
            one of the forms N.M, N.M.O, or N.M-bO, using all numbers, or
            N.ML, where L is a lower case letter. (I should check this
            more closely.) The Translation Project needs being able to  
            compare two VERSION and decides how to order them. N.M comes
            before any N.M.O or N.ML, but after any N.M-bO. N, M and O
            are compared by their numerical value, and L is compared
            lexicographically. If for some reason, you just cannot use  
            any of the above schemes, please discuss this with the
            translation coordinator, so the Translation Project might
            have to be adjusted for your package.

which indicates that VERSION-bDATE is the right format for snapshot .pot
files, not just DATE.
