FTR, please note that this fix is 100% reliable only on Posix systems.
MS-Windows's setlocale doesn't heed the LC_* environment variables,
unless the program was built with the Gnulib replacement for
setlocale, or took special care to access the environment from the
application code.  Some programs do, others don't, so don't expect
this to work for every port of Diff out there.
