I had closer look at why Test/D07multibyte.ztst was being skipped on
HP-UX 11.11, I guess it was just too obvious to spot sooner.  The locale
on the system is en_US.utf8, but that name was being transformed before use.
Unfortunately NetBSD's problem isn't the same, so that's still to debug.

Either line modified in the following path is sufficient to get the test
running, take your pick if you want either or both.

A bit of elaboration on this, since I was surprised to find the locales
on my Linux boxen also named en_US.utf8, etc.  How could the orginal
test script have been working then?  It appears that on Linux you can
set LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and get the (presumably) desired result.

Possibly this changed in the meanwhile but it looks like it doesn't care.
"UTF-8" is what's retrieved by nl_langinfo(CODESET).
