rpm-5.4.16 snapshot, take 2

I have uploaded another snapshot release that addresses
all the issues you have reported:

	rpm-5.4.16-0.20160318.src.rpm

The issue of garbled text is both locale and rpm version dependent
and is _NOT_ reproducible with rpm-5.4.16, but is reproducible
with rpm-4.13.0 when a locale is specified.

PLD and rpm5.org are likely to disagree on the issue of including
I18N in spec files and in headers no matter what.

I have checked that rpm can be built using --without-openssl
and/or --without-acl.

The linkage problem with rpmio/tgfs which uses shm_open(3) has to do
with a missing -lrt which may be implicitly specified by some other
configure option, perhaps OPENMP.

Meanwhile I have hardwired -lrt for tgfs ldflags. The other issues I had with
tgfs (a test program for GridFS using MongoDB) had to do with misconfiguration,
not anything else. There is a need for an error message which I will add shortly.
