On HPUX 10.20, mbstowcs seems to treat all byte values as single-byte
characters in C locale, so my sample-of-one says that it works
everywhere ;-).
Nonetheless, it's clear that in C locale mbstowcs cannot be buying us
anything compared to using the old <ctype.h> macros, so I'm fine with
adding a check on the locale as per previous discussion.
