As usual, done.
I needed to introduce a w32-specific variable, which needs to be bound
to a non-nil value in order to have UTS#10 (a.k.a. "Unicode Collation
Algorithm", or "UCA") compliant collation order, which ignores
punctuation differences, on MS-Windows. This is because Windows
doesn't support UTF-8 as a codeset in its locales (and Windows locales
have different names anyway). This means that if a Lisp program needs
to make sure it gets a UCA-compliant collation order on all platforms,
it will have to pass a "xx_YY.UTF-8" locale on Posix platforms, and on
Windows bind that w32-specific variable to a non-nil value.
Btw, I think we will need a lot of verbiage in the ELisp manual to
make sure people understand what to expect from these functions. In
particular, the results are extremely locale- and platform-specific,
so one cannot expect exactly the same results in all cases, only
something similar.
