Re: [PATCH] i18n: Set LC_COLLATE locale category based on system locale.

[John Darrington]

This looks fine to me.

In fact, we really should be setting all categories.  The only reason we have 
not done so,
is that we are (mis)using printf to parse formatted input, and therefore 
setting LC_NUMERIC
would break that.

     In the standard C library, only a few functions honor LC_COLLATE:
     strcoll, wcscoll, strxfm, and wcsxfrm.  PSPP doesn't use any of
     these functions, so this commit should not affect PSPP's use of
     standard library functions.
     
     The libunistring manual only mentions collation rules in the entries
     for a few functions: u8_strcoll, u16_strcoll, u32_strcoll,
     u8_normcoll, u16_normcoll, u32_normcoll, u8_casecoll, u16_casecoll
     u32_casecoll.  PSPP doesn't use any of those functions either.
