Well, now I think using $prefix/locale is not that bad.

But in general, I'd like to make the point that it is OK to lose sometimes.
Jordi proposed giving up here, and it's not bad IMO.  I think it's good to
always keep in consideration the option of giving up and refuse to provide a
feature or refuse to install on a f*cked up setup.

Sometimes the cost of supporting something is just too high.
