That was causing all kinds of subtle bugs with the c runtime, 
therefore many of the locale-dependent functions were re-implemented
(e.g. collating, floating point number parsing etc). I'm not sure if
we can control the env fully, all the time -

Regarding gettext, I have a slight reservation - we'd be strongly 
depending on correct context, otherwise short strings from different
places will all be mixed up. I gather this will be mostly manual
work?
