Well. 

For what it's worth I've backed out of my original plan to finish the
locale implementation and have now started working on the libstdc++
stabilization and cleanup on non-linux platforms. I'll be working on
that after the namespace/shadow header work gets done, which is
necessary for a conforming implementation that uses namespaces.

I am aware of your impatience, and am sorry for the delay.
