In langconfig.php, should there be at least one Windows-like locale?  (See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/39cwe7zf(vs.71).aspx and maybe relevant parts of http://php.net/manual/en/function.setlocale.php.)

For example, in the default langconfig.php, should this:

$string['locales'] = 'en_US.utf8,en_GB.utf8,en';

perhaps be changed to something more like:

$string['locales'] = 'en_US.utf8,en_GB.utf8,en,english-us,english-uk,english';

It seems to me that the answer is probably "yes" but I'm no expert in these matters...

Neither am I, but I've just added them anyway.

The warning on that php manual page implies that ugly things are going to happen to anyone trying to run a multilanguage site on Windows!

Well, if you're going to put the change in the core code, I guess I better mirror it in the US English language pack...
