Looking at include/tds_configs.h, locales.conf seems not to follow 
FREETDSCONFIG.  It will be in SYSCONFDIR.  In Win32, according to 
win32/freetds_sysconfdir.h, SYSCONFDIR is "C:".  I think that means 
locales.conf will be looked for in the current working directory when you 
start your application.  :-/

Cf. "National Language Support Functions", particularly GetLocaleInfo().  I 
haven't used these functions, but that looks like a good place to start.
