Aside from Jonas' remarks,  FPC 2.2.2 comes with a locale unit that loads
the constants in sysutils with the system's locale settings when you include
it. I verified, and it is also enabled for Darwin. 

Note that it doesn't allow to load arbitary locale settings.


In addition to Jonas remarks, it is better to stick to generally used ISO
locale designations rather than some arbitrary enumeration on Windows.
