I fixed upper/lower so that they would work on multi-byte character set
encodings, given that the platform supports the <wctype.h> functions
towupper, towlower, etc.  This means they can work on Unicode (UTF-8)
data.  However, this doesn't do anything to improve the fundamental
issue that we are dependent on the C library's API for locale-specific
behavior, and that that API does *not* easily support dealing with
multiple locales at once.  See the nearby "unicode and sorting" thread.
