FWIW, I've got an `as yet unposted' MinGW wrapper for `setlocale',
which *does* honour environment settings.  I hope to post a snapshot
within the month ahead; you may wish to consider using this, in any
future ports.

FYI, the `setlocale' wrapper function will use lookup tables to
translate ISO-639 language codes, and ISO-3166 territory codes, to
their (possibly non-standard) Microsoft equivalents.  The lookup
tables are based on Wikipaedia info, which is published under the
GPL; hence, this wrapper will be a GPL add-on for MinGW.

Regards,
Keith.
