/* now get AppleLocale value and use that to set LC_ALL because Launchd-started processes (i.e. GUI apps)
do not have this environment variable set, and without it, setlocale (LC_ALL, "") will fail.
Note that it doesn't matter much what we set LC_ALL to for gettext's purposes, but other aspects of the
locale system do need a value that mostly/sort-of/kind-of represents the user's own preferences. So, get
that from CoreFoundation APIs.
