Windows has a bug in Japanese and Korean locales. In these
locales, strings reterned by GetLocaleInfoW for
LOCALE_SABBREVMONTHNAME* miss suffixes representing a month.

It should return "5\u6708" in Japanese and "5\c6d4" in
Korea. MSDN in Japanese describes so. It, however, returns "5"
in both locales. In Chenese, it returns "\u4e94\6708" with the
suffix.

We can solve this problem with LOCALE_SMONTHNAME* instead of
LOCALE_SABBREVMONTHNAME* in these locales. I attathed the patch.

	* nlsfuncs.cc (__set_lc_time_from_win): Use LOCALE_SMONTHNAME1
	instead of LOCALE_SABBREVMONTHNAME1 in Japanese and Korean
	locales to get abbreviated month names.
