Thanks.

Hmmm.  Right now every single test in tp/tests reports "failed",
apparently they fail to find their locale dir:

I suspected these might be happening because I do out-of-tree builds
only, or because I have some other changes in my local working copy
(mostly related to Makefile cosmetics and compiler warning removal), so
I checked out a pristine copy to build in-tree.  And indeed, that made
them work.

So next I built the clean version out-of-tree --- problem is back.  It
looks like the C version needs some help to find non-installed po files.
