There is no need to test every API, but there are APIs we need to require
mandatory testing:

GetSystemDefaultLCID
GetUserDefaultLCID
GetACP
FindResourceA
FindResourceExA
CompareStringA
GetLocaleInfoA

Right, that's why I'm asking to revert patch and commit it simultaneously
with a test case and possible fixes for bugs revealed by the tests.
