Since 'progname' is used by virtually every program that uses gnulib, I wish
to minimize its dependencies.

Regarding the translation: An error message that is seen by a user on average
once in 10 years (and only in abnormal conditions) does not need to be 
translated.
Also, since set_program_name is usually the first thing done in main(),
bindtextdomain has not been called at that moment.
