With my patch in r2545, Jifty's I18N should work for (at least)
standalone servers:

    http://svn.jifty.org/index.cgi/jifty/revision?rev=2545

To summarize, Jifty now calls Jifty::I18N->get_handle() to update the
locale handle per HTTP request instead of per application instance. I
think this is the correct behavior. :)

The reason that calling Jifty::I18N->new per request worked for me was
that C<new()> called C<get_handle()> (that has been mentioned above).

The current approach I'm taking has some expense too, but it's quite
small especially when the Devel mode is off. :)

I think this bug has nothing to do with Audrey's previous patches.
I've scanned through her commits and some others'. :)

I think it will be opensource. I'll talk to my $customer later. I'll
let you know. :)
