Yep.

No error, it's just that the strings aren't being translated when I run
a program with LC_MESSAGES set to de or de_DE, say.  Putting a hook in
config/locale/gnu/messages_members.h told me that messages::open never gets
called.  Hardcoding the local __dir string to the appropriate installation
directory didn't help either.

Following the example you gave in 22_locale/messages.html works.  But the
default locale's just not picking up the LC_MESSAGES env, or is looking
in the wrong place somehow, or some other problem...
