Thanks for the patch. It seems like a good idea to test NLS-enabled
configurations in test-pkg indeed. However, I'm not sure it's a good
idea to make it conditional/optional. The idea of test-pkg is that
people run test-pkg, and it tells them if their new package seems to be
OK or not. Most people will not know which knobs/options to pass to
test-pkg to test all possible situations.

So I think we should instead ensure that test-pkg by default tests the
different combinations that we think are useful to test.

Best regards,

Thomas
