Ah.  I was confused by PARAMS into thinking that I was in the user's
namespace.

OK, how about appending '|| __PROTOTYPES' instead?  That won't stomp
on the user's namespace.  I can arrange for Autoconf to define
__PROTOTYPES the same way that it defines PROTOTYPES.

Another possibility would be to have two different versions of
libgnuintl.h, one for inclusion in the system libraries, and one for
use in user code.  But this is more complicated.
