Hmm, right, we probably do setlocale(..., ""), which gets you an
"implementation-defined native environment", and Windows implements
that as you say.  I suppose if we wanted it to work like Unix, we
could call getenv("LC_XXX") and feed the results to setlocale()
ourselves... maybe a terrible idea, IDK.
