Don't set LC_CTYPE or any of the other LC_* variable, and just set
LANG=<whatever>. It should exhibit the correct behaviour then. All of
the LC variables will "inherit" values appropriate to the locale if just
the LANG variable is set. The only problems are then "inheriting"
behaviors for monetary types (e.g. 1,000.01 vs. 1 000,01). Perhaps
setting LC_ALL to your appropriate locale will take care of that voodoo.
