Glibc's setlocale() does some progressive munging try and error
steps beginning at what's declared in environment, and ending at
".utf8". The Debian installed locale datas are spelled ".utf8". Hence
both spellings are functionally equivalent, but Derek's version is a
very little bit more efficient (some ENOENT failing open()s avoided).
Bye! Alain.
