No, texi2dvi has a nasty bug that will show in certain locales (e.g. in 
German), where any call to texi2dvi will fail, because one regexp is 
incorrect in that case. For that reason, we need to forc texi2dvi to use 
C locale. Search the mailing list a few months back for a short discussion.

Okay, if you find a way that works in Linux, too, feel free to fix it.
