If I pass 1 as iFirstDay I get the first day of the week to be Tuesday, which
is wrong. I'll fix the problem. But I'm not sure I understand what you wanted
to say.

That is how it should be.

I think the code runs fine when iFirstDay is 0, but indeed, there is a bug in
the patch I attached when iFirstDay is >0. When iFirstDay is 0 it should
actually be set to firstDay + 1 and then localeValue += (iWeekday - 1 +
iFirstDay - 1) % 7. 

LOCALE_SABBREVDAYNAME1 is Monday according to the MS documentation.

I had doubts about having both the function and the function test on the same
calls but I'll extend the test, better be safe.
