The one problem with gettext (which catgets lacks) is that it relies on
a piece of global data (the "text domain binding").  This makes any way
to handle translations in a shared library somewhat distasteful.

Admittedly one can wave the problem away by relying on the default
binding established when glibc or libintl is installed, and never
calling bindtextdomain().
