Another example is X11, which has its own locale system independent
from Cygwin's. There, "ja_JP" implies eucJP already. This means that
with LANG=3Dja_JP, xterm uses eucJP, while filenames and programs
currently use the system's ANSI codepage, i.e. CP932 on Japanese
systems. Result: mojibake. It does work correctly with
LANG=3Dja_JP.SJIS.
