I guess C.UTF-8 could be efficiently handled as a special case in the
code (just process the encoding, use Unicode character order for
collation, some efficient bitmap/hash for character classes), but that
is a bigger change in glibc.
I think providing it as a regular 'built' locale should be good enough
for us.

It won't be used by default (not at this point), so I guess this can be
solved later.
