   Not all of them fail, just the tests of the Text module.

   We could maybe assume a default host encoding (utf-8?), a default 
   language (en?) and a default country (uk? us?) when such a locale is 
   found; and return the PDF_EBADLOCALE error/warning in pdf_text_init() so 
   that the user of the library can issue the corresponding warning.

I dont like the approach of defining a default
encoding+language+country. 

If C|POSIX is a "valid" locale then it should be associated with some
encoding (ASCII maybe?), isnt it?

Regarding the language and the country, can we mark that fields as
"undefined" or something like that?
