Summary: test_locale and en_US

Initial Comment:
Is it worth making test_locale try first "en_US", then
"C", 
as locale names? None of the systems I've tried have
"en_US"
as a valid locale.

hmmm -- my Linux Mandrake 9.1 does succeed happily with en_US (and on Windows we already use 'en' instead). What systems have you tried, Anthony?

That would be incorrect. The test whether there is grouping
in numeric formatting. However, in the C locale, there is no
grouping.

Most systems should have an English locale - it might have a
different name, though.
