I had to look that up, it's Esperanto. Why do you want that one? What
are you testing? It doesn't appear to be available on my machine. Do
you just want a non-utf8 locale?

You could write a function to determine if the locale is available and
then use that in SVN_TEST_SKIP2 to skip the test if the locale is not
available. The the test should be appear in the summary as SKIP.
