If the locale specifier does not follow the above form, Cygwin checks
if the locale is one of the locale aliases defined in the file
<filename>/usr/share/locale/locale.alias</filename>. If so, and if
the replacement localename is supported by the underlying Windows,
the locale is accepted, too. So, given the default content of the
<filename>/usr/share/locale/locale.alias</filename> file, the below
examples would be valid locale specifiers as well.
