        Bug 333982 – Fallback to $LANG whenever NULL PangoLanguage is used
        Patch from LingNing Zhang

        * docs/pango-sections.txt:
        * docs/tmpl/utils.sgml:
        * pango/pango-context.c:
        * pango/pango-types.h:
        * pango/pango-utils.c (_pango_get_lc_ctype),
        (pango_language_get_default):
        * pango/pango.def:
        New public function pango_language_get_default().  Note that, this
        does not make Pango fallback to the default language automatically,
        but the user can use this function to set the default language of the
        locale on a context:

          pango_context_set_language (context, pango_language_get_default());

+ * LANG (checked in that order). The locale strings typically is in

+ * On Windows, the C library doesn't use any such environment
+ * variables, and setting them won't affect the behaviour of functions
+ * like ctime(). The user sets the locale through the Regional Options 
+ * in the Control Panel. The C library (in the setlocale() function) 
+ * does not use country and language codes, but country and language 
+ * names spelled out in English. 
+ * However, this function does check the above environment
+ * variables, and does return a Unix-style locale string based on
+ * either said environment variables or the thread's current locale.

+ * Return value: a dynamically allocated string, free with g_free().
