Just in case it wasn't clear, I did mean myself...

One more thing...

I know this works.  At least, it does find the catalogs and use them.
But I can't figure out _how_ it's actually finding the TEXT_DOMAIN and
LOCALE_DIR macros, since I'm not purposely linking to app-utils.

I'd be a bit less puzzled if I knew why it compiled.  But anyway,
since those two macros are used _only_ right here in gnucash-bin.c,
I'm going to move the BUILT_SOURCE i18n.h.in from src/app-util to
src/bin/.
