Are there any places in Wesnoth where floating point numbers are output 
in a user context (i.e. not debugging)?

Anyhow, using functions which are only available on some platforms to 
solve a problem only solves the problem on some platforms. If a problem 
is worth solving, then it's worth solving right, I think.

A possible solution would be to write our own decimal number parsing 
function, and not set the locale to the US locale.
