load of _l suffixed versions of various standard library functions that use
the global locale, making them take an explicit locale parameter. Also
adds support for per-thread locales. This work was funded by the FreeBSD

currently cached data. It allows a number of nice things, like: removing
fallback code from single locale loading, remove memory leak when LC_CTYPE
data loaded again and again, efficient cache use, not only for
setlocale(locale1); setlocale(locale1), but for setlocale(locale1);
setlocale("C"); setlocale(locale1) too (i.e. data file loaded only once).
LC_MESSAGES related data was installed to <locale>/LC_MESSAGES file.
Now it go to <locale>/LC_MESSAGES/SYS_LC_MESSAGES file. LC_MESSAGES
directory is supposed to be storage of message catalogs of userland tools.
This should allow us to avoid many potential problems with future
libintl related functionality introduction.
Thanks for useful suggestions about correct way how to replace plain
files with directories at installworld stage to: Ruslan Ermilov <ru>
