A true runtime option actually belongs in an environment variable, not in a

apparently you were thinking of a preprocessor define.)
Whether to propagate the locale to child processes is really a decision that
can and should be left to the user at runtime rather than compiling it
either into the application (as in André's proposal) or even into Qt itself
(as in your proposal).
I am all for not propagating Qt's UTF-8 choice to child processes at all.
"Write once, compile/run everywhere" mandates Qt enforcing a maximum
level of homogenity within our Qt applications. That extends to the
input and output streams of the child processes our applications deal
with. Not propagating Qt's UTF-8 choices seeems like a violation of that
principle of maximum homogenity. Hiding the complexity of obscure locale
settings truely belongs to the hearth of Qt's obligations in my opinion.
