I looked at it some more. It seems that the XT call 
XtSetLanguageProc(NULL, NULL, NULL) also will set the locale, and that's 
why Xboard used to work with NLS without calling setlocale().

However the locale must be set before the call to bindtextdomain(). In 
the refactored master it comes later. That is reason it doesn't work there.
