Adding -pt_BR.UTF-8 UTF-8- to the bottom of -/etc/locale.gen-, and then
running -locale-gen- is all I needed to do on my debian box. Not
something I do often...

I was rather hoping that the flac team might have tested operation under
locales !

I'll give it further thought. My motivation was:

(a) I don't yet understand the nuances of setting/resetting locales
within the running program, and don't want to inadvertently confuse
matters should it be be used in a different way than we are envisaging.
But perhaps -strtod_l + C locale- won't do that.

(b) I like the idea of responding equally to '.' and ',' even though LMS
itself is only using '.'. Removes surprise for the average user.

It's worth noting that flac is already being very restrictive about what
it will accept - strictly '0'->'9', '.' & ',', and -strtod- had better
consume everything that it has been given.
