[XForms] dot vs. comma (0.88 vs. 1.0.x)

[Bernd Hahnebach]

It does not get rid of my problem. LC_NUMERIC or ALL seams
not to be problem. Nothing changes it does not matter what I use.

It is about all numbers in the whole program.
e.g.: input data (it does piiiiep if I try to input a dot), output on 
screen,
output to file, there is coordinate system with numbers on screen....
All numbers have a comma respectively a dot using LANG=C

I read man page of setlocale and locale (Thanks, I did not know about.)
but could not find something that helps.
