Hi folks,

Compared lists of locale_t headers and functions for POSIX, Cygwin,
and glibc, attached below for comparison, and found:

* missed string.h(strerror_l) on my first check;
   not sure if you can implement that easily on Windows?

* GNU also supports wchar.h(wcsftime_l) and time.h(strptime_l);

* GNU also defines string.h(str[n]casecmp_l) functions as an extension,
   as well as in POSIX specified strings.h.
