Either place would work, but the philosophy of newlib is that it is for
embedded systems, and my understanding is that Jeff does not want
to add locale support to newlib any time soon.  A cygwin-local replacement
for strcoll would not affect any other newlib targets.  But regardless of
whether it is newlib or cygwin that is patched, <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#SHTDI>!
