I'm working on a general utility library, including an interface to the C
setlocale() function, that lets you change the locale directly from ocaml.
Haven't tried using it and lablgtk at the same time, but it should hopefully
work without blowing anything up too badly, as long as the locale is set
before GMain.Main.init.

There's not much in the way of documentation yet, but I hope it shouldn't be
too hard to figure out.
