Description:
------------
Manual (2009-06-30) for setlocale() says that "if locale is NULL or the empty string "", the locale names will be set from the values of
environment variables with the same names as the above categories..."

This is incorrect for Windows. On Windows, setlocale(LC_ALL, '') sets the locale names from the system's regional/language settings (available through Control Panel). Windows does not consider any environment variables with setlocale.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

Your suggested text was used nearly verbatim.  Thanks for your 
contribution!
