I think the patch makes plenty of sense in mapping C.UTF-8 to
en_US.UTF-8, because most other UTF-8 locales are also mapped to
en_US.UTF-8, i.e. from X's perspective they're not actually
language-specific.
More generally, there's the issue that Cygwin allows any combination
of language and charset, whereas X has a fixed list of permitted
combinations. Cygwin also supports many charsets that aren't supported
by X (and vice versa). In particular, X only supports a few of the
Windows/DOS codepages. But I guess unsupported locales will just have
to be a case of "don't do that"?
