the parser tmpl_process3.pl searches for strings in templates & js & 
.inc ...

It relies on a HTML parser and, for javascript all strings inside a _() 
function.
the DEFAULT="<this is a string to put to .po file>" is not handled by 
the tmpl_process

the tmpl_process3.pl has some ways to handle string detection, I think 
it can be improved.
