Status of nl_langinfo and CODESET

[Colin JN Breame <colin at breame dot com>]

I've been investigating the dreaded "Can't recode string" error in 
subversion.  This error occurs when a string contains characters that 
cannot be converted into the equivalent characters in the users locale.

It seems that nl_langinfo always returns US-ASCII (at least on my 
system), even if LC_CTYPE is set or the locale is something else entirely.

Looking at the archive indicates that cygwin doesn't have "proper" 
locale support.  Does anyone know what would be required to give cygwin 
"proper" locale support?
