/* This function addresses two separate problems: First, if we set
 * std::locale::global then all streams automagically imbue
 * themselves with it and we have to re-imbue all of the backends and
 * logging streams with std::locale::classic() so that data and log
 * files aren't localized. Second, calling std::locale("") is slow,
 * so we want to do it only once. Worse, the standard C++ library in
 * Mingw64 chokes on at least some Microsoft-style locale strings
 * (e.g. "Spanish_Spain") but libc's setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL) emits
 * them even if originally fed a Unix-style locale ("es_ES").
 *
 * The solution is this function which caches the setlocale() locale
 * the first time it's called and which uses a boost::locale
 * generator, which does know what to do with (sometimes adjusted)
 * Microsoft locale strings.
