I don't know such a script. But you can find new or changed strings with 
the translation tools itself:

   1. Create a "dummy" translation en_US.po (English, US):
      cd pidgin-mtn/po
      [XGETTEXT_ARGS=--no-location] intltool-update --pot
      mv pidgin.pot en_US.po
   2. Edit en_US.po with a translation tool (Emacs po-mode, KBabel etc.)
   3. Copy msgid to msgstr for all correct English strings
   4. Update source code with mtn and intltool-update
   5. All new and changed strings are now marked as new or fuzzy
   6. Go back to 2

This could also be done multi-user, if the dummy translation file will 
be managed with Monotone.
