Oops. I was hoping that since clisp was the culprit that got LANG
added in the first place, this problem might just disappear since
we've switched to ecl -- no such luck, I guess. Now, I'm curious about
the issues R has -- do you need LANG to be set whenever you *use* R,
or just when you run the spkg-install? Because if it's the former,
we're back to square one with #2513 ...

Another unfortunate possibility is that R isn't the only program that
has an issue with this -- once you add it to the spkg-install for R,
does the sage install finish without any trouble?
