I just made a test. I removed the i18n stuff again, i.e. those 6 lines
of code

    // Init i18n
    setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
    
    // open the catalogue
    bindtextdomain (myconfig.game_name.c_str (),
"/usr/local/share/locale");    textdomain (myconfig.game_name.c_str ());

and everything works perfect. I also tried moving the code after python
initialization, but it does not make a difference. I'm not sure why this
is messing python up, but I guess if there is such a problem, it is know
already. So possibly there is something on the python ML about this.
(One thing to try would be to change the LC_ALL to LC_MESSAGES).

As for committing, I wanted to wait until the dialogue stuff works as
expected. Now that I don't get hundreds of python errors, debugging
should be simpler.

Anyway, don't worry that much about the stuff. I merely mentioned it to
explain why I wouldn't have a closer look at the windows issues
yesterday. But well, I'll fix the dialogues, commit and have a look at
the windows stuff afterwards. Plenty of work, as it seems, so it may
take a while ...
