So the code would wind down to something like:

 some header file:

#if defined (_WIN32)
char get_locale(void);
#endif


 some compatibility file:

#if defined (_WIN32)
char get_locale() {
 char *a = g_win32_get_package_installation_directory_of_module(NULL);
 char *b = g_build_filename(a, "share", "locale");
 g_free(a);

 return b;
}
#endif

 libgeda.c:

#if defined (_WIN32)
{
 char a = get_locale();
 bindtextdomain (LIBGEDA_GETTEXT_DOMAIN, a);
 g_free(a);
}
#else
bindtextdomain (LIBGEDA_GETTEXT_DOMAIN, LOCALEDIR);
#endif

///

I have not access to any computer with MS-Windows on it, anyone care to 
test this?
