Addendum:  It also appears that the set-locale dependency needs to be
moved *before* the XMLFILES-${1} and XMLDEPFILES-${1} dependencies for
everything to work properly, since you have to build
${PRI_LANG}/${DOC_ENTITIES}.ent before translating the documents from
the PO files.  I think this is the case for any and all targets
depending on set-locale-${1}.
