This change implements the following gettext features, as

discussed recently in python-dev:

In _locale module:

- bind_textdomain_codeset() binding

In gettext module:

- bind_textdomain_codeset() function
- lgettext(), lngettext(), ldgettext(), ldngettext(),
  which return translated strings encoded in
  preferred system encoding, if
  bind_textdomain_codeset() was not used.
- Added equivalent functionality in translate()
  function and catalog classes.

Every change was also documented.

 The locale module exposes the C library's gettext interface on systems
 that provide this interface.  It consists of the functions
 \function{gettext()}, \function{dgettext()}, \function{dcgettext()},
-\function{textdomain()}, and \function{bindtextdomain()}.  These are

 Python applications should normally find no need to invoke these
 functions, and should use \refmodule{gettext} instead.  A known
 exception to this rule are applications that link use additional C
 libraries which internally invoke \cfunction{gettext()} or
-\function{cdgettext()}.  For these applications, it may be necessary to
+\function{dcgettext()}.  For these applications, it may be necessary to
 bind the text domain, so that the libraries can properly locate their
 message catalogs.
