Summary: Python gettext doesn't support libglade

Initial Comment:
Libglade is a library that parses XML and generates
GTK-based UIs in runtime. It is written in C and
supports a number of languages through bindings.

James Henstridge has maintained a set of bindings for
Python for some time now. These bindings work very
well, _except for internationalization_.

The reason seems now straightforward to me. Python's
gettext.py is a pure python implementation, and because
of it, bindtextdomain/textdomain are never called. This
causes any C module that uses gettext to not activate
the support, and not use translation because of it.

Using Martin's intl.so module things work great, but it
is a problem for us having to redistribute it with our
application. Any other suggestions to fix?
