Thanks for the explanation.

I was talking only about xtrcasecmp, defined on xfaces.c.  lwlib.c can
use it, if we want.  As for etags, I don't care much, but pulling in
another bunch of gnulib modules just for its sake sounds gross to me.

It's actually the other way around: to DTRT, these library functions
_must_ be locale-dependent, because the collation sequence might be
different in each locale, even for locales that use the same Latin
characters.

> If that is not true, gnulib module may be a workaround.

We already had a workaround for that, so I see no reason to use that
of gnulib.
