Hm, doesn't seem so. Older perl POSIX modules have setlocale, just not
LC_MESSAGES, so we can keep using POSIX qw(setlocale).

So the following works for me:

+}
 
 setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, "");
 bindtextdomain("quilt", "@LOCALEDIR@");

And yes, it it somewhat less ugly than my original proposal was.
