[gentoo-dev] [PATCH] python-utils-r1.eclass: python_export_utf8_locale(), ensure sane locale

[Michał Górny]

Ensure that the locale selected by python_export_utf8_locale() conforms
to POSIX-ish case conversions. Otherwise, we may accidentally force
a locale that will break random ebuilds and programs.
