I looked into this and find that the issue seems to be Apple's rather
limited (not to say brain dead) locale support.  What I see on OSX
10.3.7 is that <langinfo.h> defines CODESET, but nl_langinfo(CODESET)
always returns an empty string.  So there's not any obvious way to
determine the correct encoding associated with a locale setting.
