Background for cygwin list: Dave discovered a problem running some of
the gcc tests. The tests were run in the "C" locale, but in so doing
they assumed an ascii encoding (specifically, that "'" would match ' in
test patterns -- but the program actually emitted those fancy curled
quotes which did not match ').

That's interesting. I had thought "ascii" was a fairly common encoding
name; I know I've seen both 'encoding="ascii"' and 'encoding="us-ascii"'
in XML documents. Maybe we (cygwin) should add an explicit
plain-old-ascii encoding name?
