Hi,

It appears that gcal honors the wrong locale settings when it comes to
deciding the starting day of the week.

% locale
LANG=hr_HR
LC_CTYPE="hr_HR"
LC_NUMERIC="hr_HR"
LC_TIME="hr_HR"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="hr_HR"
LC_MESSAGES=en_US
LC_PAPER="hr_HR"
LC_NAME="hr_HR"
LC_ADDRESS="hr_HR"
LC_TELEPHONE="hr_HR"
LC_MEASUREMENT="hr_HR"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="hr_HR"
LC_ALL=

And with that, I still have to specify -s1 to have the weeks start on
Mondays, which is the standard for my locale.

Surely it should honor something like LC_NUMERIC or LC_TIME or even LANG
rather than LC_MESSAGES for the ordering issue?

(I've also tried it with LC_MESSAGES=hr_HR which made the weeks start on
Mondays, but then the display was completely rotated, which I thought was
entirely inappropriate.)

Please fix this. TIA.
