how does rw_locales() work on Windows?
The rw_locales() function defined in the driver invokes the
"locale -a" command regardless of the platform (i.e., including
Windows). When I run tests that invoke the function from within
the IDE they produce errors because the locale utility can't be
found (it's probably not in PATH).
I'm curious: how do others run tests on Windows so that calls
to rw_locales() succeed ? Farid?

It seems, no :(

You mean you don't like neither of them? I don't blame you :)
And there is no way for a solution to automatically add a specific
directory to PATH the first time you open it in the IDE?

We can't set PATH just before run test from the IDE - there is no
Pre-Run step.
The MSVC8 IDE has Envoronment field in Debugging page of the Project
Properties
dialog, but this field can be changed only manually. So we should either
add
%BUILDDIR%/bin in the PATH before run IDE or copy locale.exe and
localedef.exe
to the tests directory at Post-Build step. Both solutions are not
convinient as for me.

I see. That doesn't seem very convenient. I suppose the problem
is essentially the same as with stdcxx.dll not being in PATH when
I try to run programs from the IDE. It seems that we should have
a solution for this quirk. I can't see people being happy with
having to manually copy executables in order to run them. Do
you have any suggestions for how to deal with it?

When I debug the single test, I have just copy locale.exe and
localedef.exe (and libstdxx.dll in dynamic builds) to some directory
in the path (i.e. c:\windows) and remove them later.
