BSD grep is even not bothering to call setlocale(). I can't say is it can

Quick source inspection reveals that BSD grep operates with single bytes
only (util.c) so big rewriting with mbrtowc() is needed. Adding
setlocale() only will makes it only useable with single byte locales, in
success case.
Sorry for the possibly silly question, but what we mean localization
here in the case of grep? As far as I see, it works with wide chars,
because the regex library is aware of those. What other aspect needs to
be taken into account? In case of sort, I understarnd that it should
explicitly handle wide characters due to the different alphabet of the
different languages and yes, that seems to be a difficult task...
