In case this works, could you tell use, Eli, if there is a need to
document something about Win32::API being needed, or is it automatically
present on Windows perl that do not already have information available
through I18N::Langinfo?  (My very wild guess is that perl on windows in
environement emulating GNU/Linux or another Unix, such as cygwin, MinGW
or the Windows Subsystem for Linux have langinfo.)
