I googled around and found this code:

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/printing-driver/2005/000997.html

in that file it forces locale but restores after needing it in the
locale required, wrapping with:

setlocale(LC_ALL, "C");
[... some code that requires locale C...]
setlocale(LC_ALL, "");

Maybe we can just do that?  Could even make a wrapper function for
strod, something like:

double csound_strtod(const char *nptr, char **endptr) {
  double returnValue;

  setlocale(LC_ALL, "C");
  returnValue = strtod(nptr, endptr);
  setlocale(LC_ALL, "");

  return returnValue;
}

and use that.

Thoughts?
