In my opinion we should set a default environment with the following values=
:

LANG=3Den_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=3D
LC_COLLATE=3DC

This offers the best default options to the majority of users, and is
easy to customize for those who wish to use another locale.

And yes, LC_ALL needs to be empty, because it would override the other
LC_* values.

This should be combined with some good unicode fonts, such as the
LatCyrGr-16 for console, and dejavu for X.

Cheers,
Ben
