Setting it for just date allows successful compilation and will allow a 
user to see build chain errors in their own language (and hopefully fix 
them themselves). So I suggest that it should just be date and the call 
to svn to get version information (it doesn't seem to take notice of the 
locale, but to be safe it's best to make sure) that have the locale set 
to C.
