I'm afraid ,that there no way to set UTF-8 locale on Windows via setlocale.
Even if you try to do this with setlocale("French_Canada.65001") it won't
work correctly.
It's a pitty , because the porting of Unix programms,relying on UTF-8 locale
becomes very challenging task on Windows.

Subject: UTF-8 on NT

Not like in unix, we can set French UTF-8 locale by calling
     setlocale(LC_ALL, "fr_CA.UTF-8"),
On NT, I don't know how to set French UTF-8 locale,
setlocale(LC_ALL, "French_Canada.1252") seems not for UTF-8

My questions:
1. Is UTF-8 supported on NT ?
2. If yes, how to use setlocale() to set it up ?
Thanks.
