Hymmm.. Ok.  But something is kinda odd here.  GLIBC's nl_langinfo is
LGPL.  How can extractor relicense it under the GPL?

This seems wrong to me.  And I hate to have to go into all these details
but the (c) stuff is really important to the company.  I would rather be
coding, trust me ;)

Hym.. Sounds like a RPDF on windows problem.  I'll try to build this
whole thing tonight on my windows box and see how far I get.

Could you send me both PDF's please

thanks
