On the other hand, look at:
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/misc/#locales

The locale.tgz file mentioned there is exactly the same as the old
ctype.tar.gz I use. However the variable is different.

$LC_ALL is used there. I use $LC_CTYPE.

What's the difference, and, far more important, where are all those
variables documented ???
