Do not change the locale globally, else things will break in weird and
wonderful ways.
Introduce utils/locale.[ch], which provide locale-specific wrappers for various
functions (currently just the <ctype.h> ones).
Fix up the few places I can see that actually require that the underlying
locale is paid attention to.
Some notes:
1) The GTK frontend code has not been touched. It is possible that reading of
numeric values (e.g. from the preferences dialogue) may break with this
change, particularly in locales that use something other than '.' as their
decimal separator.
2) The search code is left unchanged (i.e. assuming a locale of "C").
This may break case insensitive matching of non-ASCII characters.
I doubt that ever actually worked, anyway. In future, it should use
Unicode case conversion to achieve the same effect.
3) The text input handling in the core makes use of isspace() to detect
word boundaries. This is fine for western languages (even in the C locale,
which it's currently assuming). It will, however, break for CJK et. al.
(this has always been the case, rather than being a new issue)
4) text-transform uses locale-specific variants of to{lower,upper}. In future
this should probably be performing Unicode case conversion. This is the
only part of the core code that makes use of locale information.
In future, if you require locale-specific behaviour, do the following:
setlocale(LC_<whatever>, "");
<your operation(s) here>
setlocale(LC_<whatever>, "C");
The first setlocale will change the current locale to the native environment.
The second setlocale will reset the current locale to "C".
Any value other than "" or "C" is probably a bug, unless there's a really
good reason for it.
In the long term, it is expected that all locale-dependent code will reside in
platform frontends -- the core being wholly locale agnostic (though assuming
"C" for things like decimal separators).

* Tested on Solaris Express: Developer Edition,
which is between Solaris 10 and 11.
* Used gcc, libmng etc packages using pkg-get and blastwave's resources.
* Had to build lemon and re2c manually.

NetSurf includes are now done with ""s and other system includes with <>s as C intended.
The scandeps tool has been updated to only look for ""ed includes, and to verify that the
files exist in the tree before adding them to the dependency lines. The depend rule has
therefore been augmented to make sure the autogenerated files are built before it is run.
This is untested under self-hosted RISC OS builds. All else tested and works.

Implement gui_init2() and move RISC OS-specific code in main() to it. Use intro page if option_homepage_url is "".
svn path=/import/netsurf/; revision=1158
Updated to support new config options (homepage, open on startup). Bug fixes with new config pane window (sticky selected radio icon bug!). Also includes up-to-date French templates.

Remove expired cookies from the cookiejar.
Cookies are removed every time a window is closed and when NetSurf is
quit.
/me slaps libcurl for not doing it itself.
Make cookie_create() read the cookie jar location from the messages file.
