Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

On Cygwin 1.5.x, which doesn't have locales, @code{nl_langinfo(CODESET)} always
returns @code{"US-ASCII"}.

@item
On Cygwin 1.7.0, only the charset portion of a locale designation is honored.

@item

@code{localeconv()->currency_symbol}, is non-empty.

@code{nl_langinfo(ABMON_1)} ... @code{nl_langinfo(ABMON_12)} are full month
names, not abbreviated month names.
