Summary: locale.setlocale is broken

Initial Comment:
locale.setlocale doesn't recognize the the format that 
locale.py uses to set the locale, ie. no_NO and 
friends.

The only way I've succeeded in setting the locale on 
Python 2.1 is to use the format described in the 
Visual C++ C-runtime library docs for setlocale where 
a more verbose format is used to set the locale.

Can you provide a detailed test case? AFAIK, no_NO is indeed
no supported locale name on Windows, and I don't think
Python aanywhere uses it without the application explicitly
saying so.
