Hi guys,

It would be nice if Windows builders here could test that very small 
patch: http://www.pasteall.org/35904/diff . It's a strip-down version of 
a simplification of our i18n code I’m working on.

Currently, we use the "Windows" locales under that OS, which makes our 
code ugly and a pita to maintain (add new languages...). E.g. fr_FR must 
be French_France under Windows.

However, looking at gettext code, I found in 
gettext-runtime/intl/setlocale.c an (exported) function that mimics 
standard setlocale one, but does all the dirty translation work between 
usual UNIX locales and Windows' ones. So I made a test on my (very 
seldom used) Win7 64bit box, using VC2008 express (i.e. 32bit only) and 
the patch linked above, and found everything seemed to work nicely.

But I’m not sure at all this will be the case with different Windows 
builds (e.g. under XP, or using free mingw compiler, etc.) - gettext 
code is bit hard to follow and see whether a given func is 
compiled/exported for a given platform. :/ Hence I’d very much 
appreciate if Windows builders here could make some tests, before I 
commit that (and break everything). ;)

Best regards,
Bastien
