Here is a v2 with best effort Windows support. My patch currently
assumes that you either have uselocale() or are Windows. I dropped the
environment variable hacks, but could bring them back if we didn't like
this requirement.

I tried to add an email[0] to discuss this with hackers, but failed to add
the CC. Let's discuss here instead given my complete inability to manage
mailing lists :).
