That's the correct approach. You can do the same thing in the 'gzip' package
as well (with is also not internationalized).
Note that there will still be a couple of invocations of dgettext("gnulib",...)
at runtime. Since there is no corresponding bindtextdomain("gnulib",...) call
in the code, these dgettext invocations will return the argument string
unchanged. This is not speed-critical, therefore it does not require further
optimization.

The patch is perfect as well.
