Bug in the i18n pt_BR file

Bug in the i18n pt_BR file

[João Pinto]

Hi, I'm João Pinto from Brazil and I'd like to report a bug in the
i18n pt_BR locale file. The capitalizations on the months and the week
days were wrong, so I fixed them in the file that I'm sending annexed
to this email. If you guys were so nice to replace the current file
with my corrections I'd be very grateful.

Best regards, João Pinto.

Would you have a reference on why they have to be capitalized?

I could not find a reference for week days.

ABNT in its standard NBR 6023:2002 indicates that months should be always used
in lower case, regardless if they're abbreviated or not.
See Annex A (Abreviatura dos meses).
