Unfortunately many (perhaps most) developers 
won't have this.  (For example, FreeBSD 6.3 
doesn't have these; I don't know about 7.*.)

Do you know of a preprocessor definition - e.g.,
	#ifdef POSIX_mumble
- that can reliably be used to check whether code 
has "xlocale.h" (and "newlocale()" and 
"freelocale()") available?
