/* Initialize translated error messages within neon.  If 'encoding' is
 * non-NULL, it specifies the character encoding for the generated
 * translated strings.  If it is NULL, the appropriate character
 * encoding for the locale will be used.
 *
 * This call is only strictly necessary if either:
 *
 * a) neon has been installed into a different prefix than the
 * gettext() implementation on which it depends for i18n purposes, or
 *
 * b) the caller requires that translated messages are in a particular
 * character encoding.
 *
 * If ne_i18n_init() is never called, the message catalogs will not be
 * found if case (a) applies (and so English error messages will be
 * used), and will use the default character encoding specified by the
 * process locale.  The library will otherwise operate correctly.
 *
 * Note that the encoding used is a process-global setting and so
 * results may be unexpected if other users of neon within the process
 * call ne_i18n_init() with a different encoding parameter.
