Basically I made each separate "package" its own translation domain.
For instance, BFD uses the "bfd" domain.
"as" and "gasp" are in the "gas" domain.
(The rule is that we use the PACKAGE definition from configure.in as
the domain name.)

Libraries correctly use dgettext to look up messages in their domain.
(See bfd/sysdep.h to see how.)

I still think this is a reasonable approach.  For one thing, it is
easy to understand.  For another, parts of binutils (eg bfd) are
shared with other packages (gdb).
