Subject: [PATCH] Force the locale LC_ALL to be POSIX (in Hurricane::DataBase).
* Problem: In LEF/DEF, the parsers makes use of the libc "strtod()" which
is now localized. So, if your environment is set up for French, the
decimal separator is not '.' (dot) but ',' (comma). So floating
numbers in LEF/DEF file are not longer recognized as such, causing
the parsers to fail with a LEFPARS-1 error.
To avoid that, we force the LC_ALL environment variable to POSIX
in Hurricane::DataBase::create(). So first things that happens when
Hurricane starts, is the environment to be reset.
Strangely, when I try to setup only LC_NUMERIC with setlocale()
it doesn't work. There is something I'm missing there...
