Huh?
With my patch LC_CTYPE affects the "system default locale". LC_ALL,
LANGUAGE (a mistake, I think, but couldn't convince Alexandre), and LANG
affect the "user locale". Hence - there are two locales in the Windows
world. If we implement the MUI interfaces, we will actually have three.

You are referring to problems I'm having with detecting keyboard
languages that have nothing to do with this patch. This patch is not an
attempt to solve those problems, and has nothing to do with them. It
also should not affect them.
