Why does <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-locale.html> talk all
about a charset of UTF-8, then "For a list of locales supported by
your Windows machine, use the new locale -a command", which shows
"utf8" (which matches my XP machine)?

I know little about charsets, so I find it confusing nad disheartening
to see any difference.
