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.
@item
On NetBSD 5.1, in the "C" locale, the results of
@code{nl_langinfo(ABMON_1)} ... @code{nl_langinfo(ABMON_12)} are full month
names, not abbreviated month names.
