It looks like it's still a problem to find all of the info in the locale on all platforms, though. Finding the locale info is no doubt the tricky part, as someone said.

Hm, shouldn't the libc locale support offer the same set of locales
and locale info that the libc strftime uses, on any platform? Or are
there platforms whose libc strftime has better locale support than the
libc getlocale implementation???
