>Description:

	FreeBSD includes a patch to remove the '#define NO_NLS'	from
	sysdefs.h (patch-ab).  This patch is incorrect since one of
	`NO_NLS', `LOCALE_NLS', `OS2_NLS' or `DOS_NLS' must be defined
	(although the code doesn't check this).  In theory, FreeBSD
	should be `LOCALE_NLS', but this fails to compile because
	<langinfo.h> doesn't exist.

>How-To-Repeat:

	cd /usr/ports/devel/asl
	make
	cd work/asl-1.41r7
	make test
	[[notice that all tests fail]]

>Fix:
	
	Quick fix: Delete patch-ab.
	Longer fix: change NO_NLS to LOCALE_NLS and either implement
	<langinfo.h>, or patch work/asl-1.41r7/nls.c to avoid the need
	for it.
