Exactly. And it has been discussed a lot on the cygwin-apps mailing
list.
And above all, there *is* an official way for the user to align the
Cygwin locale with the Windows locale, see the -s and -u options
of the locale(1) command:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#locale
There is *no* good reason that libintl should do that over the head
of Cygwin or worse, over the head of the user.
