There is soft-fail, configure just marks that locales are not supported
and use "C". Sorry I don't remember port names where I saw it right now
and don't have a time to search for them right now too. Soft-fails (like
in tcl with nl_langinfo) are almost impossible to detect excepting
specific situation happens or source code inspection. Do we ever need
them when there is no harm to keep 8859-1 locales?
