  43 Find messages which are common to two or more of the
  44 specified PO files. By using the <b>--more-than</b> option,
  45 greater commonality may be requested before messages are
  46 printed. Conversely, the <b>--less-than</b> option may be
  47 used to specify less commonality before messages are printed
  48 (i.e. <b>--less-than</b>=<i>2</i> will only print the unique
  49 messages). Translations, comments and extract comments will
  50 be preserved, but only from the first PO file to define
