// When reading/writing files, we need to swtich to setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "C" ).
// Works fine to read/write files with floating point numbers.
// We can call setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "C" ) or wxLocale( "C", "C", "C", false )
// wxWidgets discourage a direct call to setlocale
// However, for us, calling wxLocale( "C", "C", "C", false ) has a unwanted effect:
// The I18N translations are no longer active, because the English dictionary is selected.
// To read files, this is not a major issues, but the resul can differ
// from using setlocale(xx, "C").
// Previouly, we used only setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "C" )
//
// Known issues are
// on MSW
// using setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "C" ) generates an alert message in debug mode,
// and this message ("Decimal separator mismatch") must be disabled.
// But calling wxLocale( "C", "C", "C", false ) works fine
// On unix:
// calling wxLocale( "C", "C", "C", false ) breaks env vars containing non ASCII7 chars.
// these env vars return a empty string from wxGetEnv() in many cases, and if such a
// var must be read after calling wxLocale( "C", "C", "C", false ), it looks like empty
//
// So use wxLocale on Windows and setlocale on unix
