That won't work in headers.  For .c files, they are compiled as part of
the gnulib library, where the DEFAULT_TEXT_DOMAIN is in effect.  But for
the .h files, such as xstrtol.h, they are compiled as part of the main
program, where gettext() is no longer a macro to the <pobase>-domain.  It
looks like we'll have to edit any use of gettext in gnulib headers to
instead use something from a .c file, since not everyone will be using the
gnulib-tool --pobase option right away.
