Hi,

attached you'll find a new IShellPrompt.hs, since the one I've sent
has a (small) bug: basically toLocale was called but not used.

Actually I'm coming to think I'm totally wrong here. XwcLookupString
requires calling setlocale, and so, having this function, is not going
to change anything. In order to have an internationalized prompt we
need to call setlocale, no matter what.

I need to investigate the problem a bit more and possibly find a
cleaner solution. If someone has some hints, ideas or something else
to share, please let me know.
