RFE: Provide locale services that match platform's locale services - phase I - win32

Description

Filed on behalf of Yoshito Umaoka (by Mark)

OS has its own regional settings. But ICU's regional format support is
separated from OS settings. If you compare an application using ICU cultural
formatting code with another application using OS's native formatting service,
their data format could be incompatible. Windows user can customize regional
setting. Windows native application using W32 LocaleInfo is always consistent
with the operating system setting. But an application depends on ICU formatting
function could be different from other Windows native applications unless you
provide your own code loading the regional setting to initialize ICU formatting
functions.

For example, let's think about an US employee working in a German office. He
wants to see English UI/English date format, but using "euro" for currency. You
can do it easily in many Windows applications (such as Microsoft Office, Lotus
Notes) just by changing the OS's regional setting. But it might not work well
in ICU or Java based applications.

I think ICU should provide a way to support OS compatible regional format
functions.

Any new documentation referencing @compat=host should mention that the keyword only works with NumberFormat::createInstance. Allocating a SimpleDateFormat won't work with the latest design.

duplicate of Jitterbug 111?!
Many fixes for this bug were checked in against Jitterbug 4152 by mistake. See
the CVS log for that bug to see all of the changes.
