// If you're on a system that (for whatever reason) doesn't have either the "setlocale()" or the "newlocale()" function, then

// If you're on a system that (for whatever reason) has "setlocale()" but not "newlocale()", then
// add "-DNEWLOCALE_NOT_USED" to your "config.*" file.
// (Note that -DLOCALE_NOT_USED implies -DNEWLOCALE_NOT_USED; you do not need both.)
// Also, for Windows systems, we define "NEWLOCALE_NOT_USED" by default, because at least some Windows systems
// (or their development environments) don't have "newlocale()".  If, however, your Windows system *does* have "newlocale()",
// then you can override this by defining "NEWLOCALE_USED" before #including this file.
 
// Finally, some old development environments need a header file "xlocale.h" to use "newlocale()".
// Should you need this header file, add "-DNEED_XLOCALE_H" to your "config.*" file.
