+Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
+@itemize
+@item
+On Cygwin 1.5.x, which doesn't have locales, @code{nl_langinfo(CODESET)} always
+returns @code{"US-ASCII"}.
+
+@item
+On Cygwin 1.7.0, only the charset portion of a locale designation is honored.
+
+@item
+On NetBSD 5.0, in some locales, @code{nl_langinfo(CRNCYSTR)} returns the
+empty string, although the local currency symbol, as returned by
+@code{localeconv()->currency_symbol}, is non-empty.
