We don't pretend to do a thorough check of the locales anyway. We'd have
to run a full test suite to do that. Of course, it would be nice to check
whether setlocale() works, but initdb should do that itself then.

Think about it this way: If I'm the admin and a customer tells me to
install a database for him in Greek, which localization would I want for
responses from initdb?
