I think I recalled what was the problem: Guile used gettext, but
didn't import setlocale from Gnulib (and it's possible that the then
version of Gnulib's setlocale didn't really handle LC_MESSAGES).

But even the current version of Gnulib's setlocale does nothing with
LC_MESSAGES on MS-Windows, so pepole who expect that to work as on
Posix platforms are in for a surprise.
