How to install library translations as libkfoo-<ABI-major>.mo instead of libkfoo.mo

In kdecore/localization/kcatalog.cpp, the locale directory for the given
catalog name is searched for like this:

  QString relpath = QString::fromLatin1( "%1/LC_MESSAGES/%2.mo" ).arg( language, name );
  return KGlobal::dirs()->findResourceDir( "locale", relpath );

and then gettext is bound to look there (won't use any defaults), but I
don't know what findResourceDir() will do.
