It isn't a proper IANA name, you're quite right.

No such problem. The locale is certainly installed or the user wouldn't be
able to have set it in the first place. The main problem is the one above.

Too bad the ssphys source code is "Visual C++ 2005"-only. I'll try to find
a way to get that and do some experimenting. Don't hold your breath though.
Meanwhile... I tried ssphys 0.21.1 by itself against the previous version
and realized the XML files it produced had encoding="UTF-8" (instead of
"windows-1252"), and decided to try the whole vss2svn routine from the
start. The result is no greek characters at all (in the dumpfile). The
file mentioned previously comes out as _.txt (all greek characters were
eliminated and only the underscore survived).
