There are ways to build with ocaml-gettext, without ocamlfind. Just go
ahead with the your current solution. I will fix whatever is needed at
the end.

You can use LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8. If you are talking about the location of
the .mo files, I have another trick around with an environment
variables. 

replace the dir variable in uigtk2Gettext.ml by

let dir = 
  try 
    Some (Sys.getenv "UNISON_GETTEXT_DIR")
  with Not_found ->
    None
  end

It should work, you just have to set UNISON_GETTEXT_DIR to the right
path of .mo files.

If you want, I can review your changes, before you send it to the Unison
team. I proposed to do the unison i18n by myself some time ago, but I
still don't have enough time. I still wish to help.
