Folks, Please be warned that big chunk of updates/improvements were merged to -STABLE. This may cause locale/time specific warnings/problems. Please pay attention to any of these problems. And at least warn me about them. I've tried to merge and test everything related to libc part updates, but there're still present small possibility of problems! WARNING TO PORTS TEAM: This commit adds nl_langinfo() to -STABLE. So, expect changes in configure script/application runtime behaviour. If application use anything related to locale incorrectly, then it could be a bug or imcompatibility of our nl_langinfo() with GNU's one. Please report any problems to me!
