Argh... this is a ghc bug!  The haskell report defines an interface for
determining the locale, but in ghc it simply always returns the same
answer! I'll bring this up with the ghc folks.  That isn't the quickest way
to get a fix, but it's the best way.  If a new release isn't forthcoming, I
may write my own time module using C to get the actual locale data...
