I think the problem was more that we were setting both user and system
locales, and for that we can really only take LC_ALL into account. But
it seems reasonable to use LC_CTYPE to only change the codepage, since
that's pretty much the same effect it will have under Unix too.

But the fact is that there are two different locales that can be
configured independently on Windows, and some users need that
ability. So how do you propose to solve the issue?

We could of course make it configurable in the config file instead,
but it seems to me that reusing the existing Unix setup is better than
requiring users to configure the same thing in two different places.
