I'm afraid I still don't see what's wrong with the patch. Obviously
there can be different system and user locales on Windows, since there
are APIs for that, and LC_CTYPE looks like a pretty good match for
what the system locale does; I don't really understand why you are so
violently opposed to that patch. Could you please explain exactly what
you think this is going to break?
