... latter part unchanged

>Exactly.

Adding JTW's input on @env{} and additions, some of which may be more
appropriate in the setlocale info file: 

@findex setlocale AT r{, standard and current locales supported}
The function @code{setlocale} now supports the following categories in
environment variables: @env{LC_CTYPE}, @env{LC_COLLATE},
@env{LC_NUMERIC}, @env{LC_MONETARY}, @env{LC_TIME}, as well as
@env{LC_ALL} and also @env{LANG}, which provide defaults for all
categories not explicitly given.  POSIX @env{LC_MESSAGES} are not
supported.  Due to limitations of the @file{country.sys} driver only
the current user locale @code{""} or its name in the POSIX form
@code{"ll_CC"}@footnote{The POSIX locale code @code{"ll_CC"} consists
of the ISO language code @code{ll} and the ISO country code @code{CC},
optionally followed by the suffix @code{_EURO}, if the country has
adopted the Euro as its currency unit.}, and @code{"C"} (aka
@code{"POSIX"}) locales are supported. 
Modifies the character classes used by functions defined in headers
@file{ctype.h} and @file{regex.h}, returns appropriate values from
@code{strcoll} and @code{localeconv} functions, changes the decimal
character used by functions for converting numeric strings from input
and to output, and function @code{strftime} uses the appropriate NLS
formats for @code{"%x"} and @code{"%X"} conversions.
