Enable setlocale and strftime PHP functions on OS X.2

The setlocale and strftime functions don't work on OS X.2. For example, if I make a PHP file that says:

  setlocale(LC_TIME, 'fr'); 
  echo strftime("%A %d %B %Y"); 
The result is:

Monday 04 August 2003 ... that's too bad!

So I built a package for enabling locales. After installing it, the same program returns:

Lundi 4 Aout 2003

The package supports over 20 locales, with multiple settings within each locale, and can be downloaded here: locales package
