There is a trick for this.
All the strings built in libshared and libbe use "gSystemCatalog.GetString()"
instead of the usual way catalogs are accessed, which always looks things up
inside libbe's catalog. This was done because libbe couldn't link with
liblocale
when it was a separate shared library. Now that issue is fixed, but the code
still works that way, and it allows using it from libshared or other static
libraries as well.
Examples of this includes BColorControl, string_for_size, string_for_speed, and
some more.
