I've been looking for a way to specify the directory.
And this information is available elsewhere also.
If there is an alternative POSIX defined locale environment
to do a similar thing instead, then please document that.
It is not obvious how to use a different directory than
/usr/lib/locale for the locale data from reading the manual pages.
