Oh shucks, I don't know how to solve that, this is already the second 
version: using escapes rather than embedded characters so as not to mess up 
utf-8 based systems.

Anyone know the "right" way to embed a (language/locale specific) string 
into the code?

The other option would be for me to disable that test for mutibyte systems, 
but that rather defeats the object of having it in the first place!
