  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  On Cygwin 1.5.x, which doesn't have locales, @code{nl_langinfo(CODESET)} always
  returns @code{"US-ASCII"}.
  
  @item
  On Cygwin 1.7.0, only the charset portion of a locale designation is honored.
  
  @item
  On NetBSD 5.0, in some locales, @code{nl_langinfo(CRNCYSTR)} returns the
  empty string, although the local currency symbol, as returned by
  @code{localeconv()->currency_symbol}, is non-empty.
