I just tested the above on both FreeBSD and Linux, and the results are
encouraging:
% echo STRASSE | env LANG=de_DE.ISO8859 tr '[[:upper:]]' '[[:lower:]]'
strasse
Thus, I contend, using C-library will not cause invalid results, and the
only reason to have Apache's own implementation is performance, but not
correctness.
