But I don't see this sorting behavior with glibc on Linux (Fedora 9 to
be exact, testing LC_COLLATE=es_ES.utf8). Does the mingw build actually
use glibc's strcoll() code, or is it somehow depending on Windows system
functionality?

I'm also wondering if the behavior is somehow affected by encoding ...
