I thought about this some more, and I wonder why you did it like this at
all.  The patch claimed to be copying the LC_TIME code, but the LC_TIME
code isn't trying to temporarily change any locale settings.  What we
are doing in that code is assuming that the system will give us back
the localized strings in the encoding identified by CP_ACP; so all we
have to do is convert CP_ACP to wide chars and then to UTF8.  Can't we
use a similar approach for the output of localeconv?
