[Bug 1346] PAM environment takes precedence over SendEnv

--- Comment #38 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
So we could define a channel request that could be interpreted by the
server to attempt to set the locale-related environment variables. How
about something like:

      byte      SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST
      uint32    recipient channel
      string    "locale at openssh.com"
      string    language
      string    charset

Where language might be "en_GB" and charset might be "UTF-8". From this
the server could somehow search the local locale database for a good
fit.

An alternative would be to special-case LANG and LC_* and do the
translation implicitly.
