Actually, it may work better if the new wide* test cases default
to use en_US.UTF-8 instead of the C locale.  That way, the errors will
be seen by default.  The attached patch will get those tests to
use en_US.UTF-8 unless the user explicitly selects a locale by setting
the GAWKLOCALE environment variable.

So with this additional patch in place, unpatched gawk 3.1.5 reports
as follows:

bash-3.00$ make check

5 TESTS FAILED

The io.c and wstr patches make all these errors go away...
