This is not really an option, because then our i18n won't work.

Partly, see above and below.

- I want to keep the number of shared libraries for a shell to
  a minimum.
- copy the shell to other systems without having to copy the
  libraries too
- availability to use bash in single user mode (only / mounted),
  but this won't happen, because of the dependency to libintl
  which is not in /lib.
