In the Locale KCM we need to know what each individual setting is so the user 
can change them.  QLocale doesn't provide that, it's mostly just to/from 
routines with a few necessary settings like decimal point exposed mainly for 
other Qt classes like QString to use, and it really shouldn't be any more.

The KCM could probably get what it needs by using QSystemLocale and directly 
querying ICU when QSystemLocale returns a null.  Or we could change or remove 
the feature, but that's a flamewar for another list
