_decimal's 'n' format specifier actually relies on the CRT locale. The
functions in question are in libmpdec, so on Windows it is not possible
to compile a static libmpdec and build the module from that.

Well, it's possible, but setting the locale from Python then has no
effect on the module, IIRC.
