It is perfectly okay to bind the domain to the library.  In the library
you need to do 2 things:

1. Bind the domain to the library:

    bindtextdomain (PACKAGE, LOCALEDIR);

   This needs to be done once by an initialization function.

2. Use
 
    dgettext (PACKAGE, "some string")

   instead of gettext () or an appropriately adjusted _() macro.
