Description

Linux seems to name locales FOO.utf8 were we use FOO.UTF-8. We should deliver compat links or the like, for code that deals in names rather than just taking the one from the environment, and for anything passing locale names across the network.

Garrett was there a reason you didn't do this? I have this nagging memory of there being one

Let's try implementing this in libc instead of symlinking.

To test this, I used aliases in locale specification and checked that output of `locale` and e.g. `date` uses the respective charmap name:

$ locale
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C" 
LC_NUMERIC="C" 
LC_TIME="C" 
LC_COLLATE="C" 
LC_MONETARY="C" 
LC_MESSAGES="C" 
LC_ALL=
$ LANG=en_US.utf8 locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" 
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" 
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" 
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" 
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" 
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" 
LC_ALL=
$ LANG=ru_RU.utf8 date

$ LANG=ru_RU.koi8r date | iconv -f KOI8-R -t UTF-8
