Hi Yang,

I switched this thread over to the main list.

If there is no one fixing it then it will stay as it is, why is cygwin
locale broken, what is broken, how to fix it?  I don't want to patch 50
packages because some locale implementation is broken, better fix it
once and forever?

And if it is working for X it should not be too hard to get it working
in Cygwin too.
