Re: NSCalendar and NSLocale support

[Robert J. Slover]

Riccardo,

I would concur, but IIRC from when I looked at it a couple of years  
ago, there is basically a pure C API and a C++ API side-by-side.  The  
C API lacks an interface to the complex text layout engine, which  
wouldn't be needed for Locale support.  I am pretty sure I got it to  
build without C++.
