Note that there may be a difference between "de_DE" and simply "de"
locales, as each may be represented by a different directory in
/usr/share/locale. Also, htdig doesn't make use of the LC_MESSAGES
subdirectory, but what is critical is the LC_CTYPE file in the directory
for your locale. This is what tells the ctype.h functions what's a
letter and what isn't. Make sure the locale you choose has one of these,
and if it doesn't, find out if there's a way to install one.

A little bit, yes. There's also the issue of defining the mappings
between upper case and lower case, and switching over all the code to
make use of these new configurable ctype-like functions. Right now,
htdig is locale-dependent, and we haven't yet worked out all it would
need to make it locale-independent, which leaves you stuck if your system
has a broken locale implementation.
