In case I didn't make it clear, re-activating the call to
nl_langinfo() *should* fix Karl's problem.  So, an update to HEAD
of apr and apr-util should be enough to fix this.

I'm betting that apr_xlate_open is getting called with
APR_LOCALE_CHARSET.  That would explain why iconv is getting
ISO8859-1 as this is what is set in get_default_locale() in xlate.c
(which has a "not necessarily true" comment next to it).  -- justin
