I also don't want Mac users to have files installed in 
/usr/loca/share/locale, so what I'm doing is I install the .mo 
translation files in a new gnubg/locale directory that I will include 
inside the gnubg application package for Mac OS X:

gnubg/
  (...)
  gnubg
  (...)
  locale/
    da/
      LC_MESSAGES/
        gnubg.mo
    de/
      LC_MESSAGES/
        gnubg.mo
    fr/
      LC_MESSAGES/
        gnubg.mo
    (...)
  (...)

And I tell gnubg to look for its .mo files by changing (in 
gnubg.c:real_main()):

bindtextdomain (PACKAGE, LOCALEDIR);

to

#ifdef __APPLE__
bindtextdomain (PACKAGE, "./locale");
#else
bindtextdomain (PACKAGE, LOCALEDIR);
#endif


Maybe you can use the same approach on Windows.
