In an attempt to get away from a possibly confusing subject line, and
to converge on an agreed behavior, here is an attempt to clear the
desired locale behavior Wine should have. Dmitry (and anyone else),
please comment on this table where you think there are errors in it,
and say what should be there.<br>
<br>
In the "Unix setting", I'm always assuming that LC_ALL overrides
whatever is written in that column, and that LANG is used if neither
LC_ALL nor the column are set.<br>

The thread locale's task in this is not clear. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://tinyurl.com/46mb5">http://tinyurl.com/46mb5</a>
contains language that suggests that under 2000 and XP, this value is
simply ignored.<br>

If Dmitry, or anyone else, have any corrections/additions to this
table, please respond to this email.<br>
