We should not complicate things, especially since it's not clear at all what APIs are affected by system/user locale differences.
But the fact is that there are two different locales that can be configured independently on Windows, and some users need that ability. So how do you propose to solve the issue?
We could of course make it configurable in the config file instead, but it seems to me that reusing the existing Unix setup is better than requiring users to configure the same thing in two different places.
I like the idea of moving that setting to the config file. We can't use existing unix locale settings except LC_ALL and LANG because every user's system might have (and does have) very different locale settings, we can't assume that everyone out there configures locale in the same way.
