Having two separate configure scripts is undesirable, because that would
increase the total configure time of the package (and people have already
complained about the configure time).

The same problem is seen also in GNU gettext and in GNU poke. I'm fixing it
through the attached patch set.

So, you can now remove 'setlocale' from the modules of your library again.
