locales

[Andy Robinson]

With the old version 0.1 on Linux I found that calling GST functions 
would often change the locale, which was very irritating.

With 1.2.4 on Linux and 1.6.3 on Windows and Mac, I find the locale no 
longer changes when I call a GST function - good!

My question is, when did this happen? Is it true of all 1.x releases, 
that the locale will not get changed?
