Correction, that ^ is the reason it's not reached on the MSVC task,
while -Dnls=disabled is the reason for the MinGW task. But the
conclusion is the same: MinGW is the easiest way to test this code
on CI, if you're hacking on it.
Given that the build farm also doesn't test Windows + NLS, it's a
small miracle that it even compiles. Hmm, I guess that the EDB
installer build must have it enabled, so I suppose they'd tell us if
we broke it. I guess that because sometimes we see reports of
encoded-garbled error messages in other languages on the lists, which
also tells us that it might have bugs in that department. What I
don't recall is whether they looked like the
"some-contexts-have-no-defined-encoding" problem (that exists on Unix
too but no one cares anymore since we all switched everything to UTF-8
ages ago), or something else...
