if you want real robust system, and you do not believe multibyte
locale stuff is mature enough, (and maybe you are in Europe and
want to use singlebyte locale) you want to disable it. it's not
happy for us Citrus developers, but i believe there are such requests.
anyway, if we have solution for statically-linked binaries,
we can reuse that technique for this.
