I followed this thread with amusement and now I just wonder: since
busybox is meant to be used in size constrained systems, isn't it
somewhat incompatible with "internationalization" and all the implied
bells and whistles?

Everyone here is trying to spare a few bytes in each applet, so is it
worth trying to support anything but LC_ALL=C? For the full monty thing,
we already have the GNU stuff ...
