I'm trying to introduce the i18n APIs standardized by ISO C or
Single UNIX Specification into the Cygwin DLL. Most of them can
be emulated by corresponding Win32 APIs, so it doesn't need a
massive effort.

I have already implemented APIs standardized by ISO C except for
strftime() and most part of the extensions of Amendment 1. But
I have not merged them into the development source of the Cygwin 
DLL yet. I'm going to do so when I finish to implement strftime().

The i18n APIs in Windows doesn't know how to represent a time
nor a date along with a time in the proper format of the current
locale. So implementing strftime() has a rough passage.

iconv? It's future work.
