Ah, than I misunderstood the last time. I thought you might also want to be 
able to test things work localized.

In any case, we first need checking how catalogs are looked for. If the 
catalog loader knows about the install prefix it might try to simply get any 
catalogs found there, so when running in a localized env the tests will fail 
if translations are not used on both side of the tests. Unless we enforce C as 
env or something like that.

Time to go out to Qt expert circles and ask, to make educated decisions :)
