[ardour-dev] i18n serialization

[Paul Davis]

you are invited to try to get this program to misbehave by setting
some locale-related environment variables. i seem unable to do so,
despite what man 3 printf says about LC_NUMERIC ...

in theory using LC_NUMERIC=da_DK should change the print format of the
larger floating value, and nl_NL should change the scanning of the
"str" variable.
