I guess this means wget needs to call 'setlocale' with the right
codepage even when NLS is not enabled, because the naïve belief that
the default C locale will show n on-ASCII characters correctly is
false on Windows, especially in multibyte locales. The MSDN
documentation of 'setlocale' confirms that by saying:
The C locale assumes that all char data types are 1 byte and that
their value is always less than 256.
