Locale by default?

It occurred to me that a server with locale features that is started in
the C locale is going to behave the same as a server without locale
features. The exception are a few extra memory moving operations. (I
sincerely hope that all systems' libcs have optimized paths for the C
locale.) So we could get rid of this --enable-locale switch altogether.
Given our international user base, this would be an appropriate step and
move the locale support out of the "cumbersome secondary feature"
compartment. What do you think?
