How about this:

msgid "Found %1 files"
msgstr ""
"#>:0:1"
"#>No files found"
"#>One file found"
"#>Found %1 file"
"#>Found %1 files"
"#>Found %1 filess"

First line, "#>:0:1", defines that there are two additional forms, for 0 
and 1, which come before standard forms, in given order. If translator 
needs to specify which argument is the one upon which the form is decided, 
its number can also fit in the first line, between ">" and first ":", like 
"#>1:0:1". This solution would be easy to parse.
