hmm, then my implementation was wrong. If I set $LC_CTYPE correctly,
then it's fine. However - I have the same setting in .profile.locale, but
still the XML tests fails for me. Must be a shell issue. I'll try again
when I've recompiled.

Too much for a simple test.
If done right, php should keep a table of all locale strings, for 'all'
systems, and thats also a bit too much :)
