GTK+ tries to work with any capitalization - whether LC_CTYPE
is zh_TW.Big5 zh_TW.big5 or zh_TW.BIG5, it will always look
for the file

  gtkrc.zh_CN.big5

We do this because the capitalization is not standard.

I don't know exactly what the policy is for the glibc
locale files. The code inside glibc checks for both
the capitalzation given in the environment variable
and the locale standardized the same way as in GTK+.
