I don't think we are prepared to buy into a general policy that the
regression tests should pass in *any* locale; maintaining a large
number of variant expected-files isn't very practical.  However, the
de facto policy is that we try to keep them passing in locales that
are used by any of the regular developers.  I think it would be useful
to have buildfarm members testing in a few common locales.
