Now I'm not sure if this works with NLS properly. I originally tested
without changing QUIT_DEFAULT_YES to FALSE. Now trying this with
LANG=de, QUIT_DEFAULT_YES=FALSE, and Klaus' de.po file, the german
question to quit comes up, but "j" is not accepted while "y" is. So the
behaviour of char *msg_yes = gettext("yes") must not be consistent.

Btw, the exit question looks like:
Are you sure you want to quit? (n)
