I agree with Peter.  AFAICS, the binaries go into $prefix/bin and the
NLS files go into $prefix/share/locale, so there is no more nor less
conflict among different versions' NLS files than their executables.
In both cases the only supported way to have multiple installations
at once is to use different install prefixes.  So why complicate matters
like this?
