 General policy across /bin and /usr/bin seems to ignore setlocale()
 failures (usually caused by invalid/unsupported language settings).
 I guess that's sensible, and in any case changing it for hexdump/od only
 seems wrong.
 
 There seems little wrong with the current way of determining hexdump vs
 od either, which is to treat anything ending in 'od' as od.
