The setlocale() function in the Microsoft C library uses locale names of the form “English_United States.1252” etc. We want the UNIXish standard form “en_US”, “zh_TW” etc. This function gets the current thread locale from Windows - without any encoding info - and returns it as a string of the above form for use in forming file names etc. The returned string should be deallocated with g_free().
