The Catalog constructor
.......................

GNOME  uses a version of the `gettext' module by James Henstridge, but
this version has a slightly different API.  Its documented usage was:

     import gettext
     cat = gettext.Catalog(domain, localedir)
     _ = cat.gettext
     print _('hello world')

For compatibility with this older module, the function `Catalog()' is
an alias for the the `translation()' function described above.

One difference between this module and Henstridge's: his catalog
objects supported access through a mapping API, but this appears to be
unused and so is not currently supported.
