Thanks!

The other locales are de_DE.ISO-8859-1 and en_US.ASCII.  IMO we should
add a UTF locale.  We already generate de_DE.UTF-8.  Shall I add this
as UTF locale to the framework?  Currently we don't have tests for it
but I hope others will add tests.  

Adding a locale is no problem, I just want to add a UTF locale as
guidance for people generating testcases.
