The claims are well founded regarding french, believe me.  Thus, its a
pt_BR and fr_* bug at minimum.

You still need to provide a mean to generate a <c> with cedilla, and also
read my comments about MS Windows compatibility and Linux non locale
settings in my previous emails.

Thanks for the tip.  I will follow this bug closely too.
