Oh, disregard previous complaint then...
On HPUX 10.20 I get

On Mac OS X 10.3.4, there doesn't seem to be a "locale" program.
Using the ls /usr/share/locale technique, I get
--snip--
Big5
CP1251
CP866
ISCII-DEV
ISO8859-1
ISO8859-13
ISO8859-15
ISO8859-2
ISO8859-4
ISO8859-5
ISO8859-7
ISO8859-9
KOI8-R
KOI8-U
SJIS
US-ASCII
UTF-8
eucCN
eucJP
eucKR

Note the blank line in there! It appears that the CODESET routine is
simply emitting the last part of the locale name, as the output works
out like this:
locale CODESET
...
de_AT
de_AT.ISO8859-1 ISO8859-1
de_AT.ISO8859-15 ISO8859-15
de_AT.UTF-8 UTF-8
de_CH
...
In short it looks like this is going to be a bit limited on OSX :-(
