Changing the LANG to C or en_US does not work neither. The VS C++ compiler does
not use the LANG variable for providing messages. I know that on WXP, there are
options to setup the language of work like English but I cannot turn my PC to
English because others tools like Excel will work in English with the decimal
point as '.' instead of the ',' for France... The setup of the language for WS
Studio is just the one you choose at download time -- much like the JDK of Sun
for Japanese or Chinese --; The point here is that I succeed in downloading the
ENU VS2010 version but after the installation, it is the French version that
runs....
Anyhow, I think that for this specific case of VS C++ which is not a compiler
that follows the Linux/Cygwin rules --ie LANG=en_US, one should provide a way to
support non en_US VS C++ compiler for computing the vervion used.

The issue here (and the reason why the rule is to run build in en_US) is that
the build would be error prone if we allow running builds in locales other
than US English. In the past, we had several build errors related to this,
e.g., 'date' command produced differently formatted date string for each
locale which resulted in build errors.

Unfortunately, on Windows, it is not as trivial, nor often possible to get
tools to produce different output by setting a locale. It is not the case
with cl.exe, anyway. And in this case, Microsoft apparently does not provide
the English version to French users. Hence this fix.

Hi Magnus,
Well, it would work for Latin languages, but not for others, e.g., CJK. I
thought that the general rule was to run the build in English environment. I
would think that French CL.EXE would produce English version string on
Windows configured for en_US locale.

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8025933
In France, it's not possible to download the English version of Visual
Studio; hence CL.EXE presents itself as:
Compilateur d'optimisation Microsoft (R) 32 bits C/C++ version
16.00.30319.01 pour 80x86
instead of
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 16.00.30319.01
for 80x86
With a simple fix we can handle this in configure as well.
