That's me.  Well, it will be as soon as I get my new build to Corrina ;-).

Unfortunately I know next to nothing about Cygwin's locale support or lack
thereof.  The --enable-locales-fix is certainly easy enough to do though.
Corrina/Chris/etc, what do you guys think?  Should I build with it before I
submit it to you (hopefully this evening)?  Or is there actually proper
locale support and this is actually some other problem?
