MonoDroid doesn't use the appropriate current culture.

To reproduce, create a new Activity with this as the Activity.OnCreate() body:

    base.OnCreate(bundle);
    Log.Info ("*jonp*", "Default Locale: {0}",
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name);
    double bigNum = 123456789.123;
    Log.Info ("*jonp*", "bigNum={0}", string.Format ("{0:N}", bigNum));
    Log.Info ("*jonp*", "Now={0}", DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString ());

Go to Android settings and change the default language to e.g. Deutsch
(german).  Run the app, and run 'adb logcat' to see the above diagnostic
messages.

Actual Output:

    I/*jonp*  ( 5305): Default Locale: 
    I/*jonp*  ( 5305): bigNum=123,456,789.12
    I/*jonp*  ( 5305): Now=01/14/2011

Expected output:

    I/*jonp*  ( 5305): Default Locale: de-DE
    I/*jonp*  ( 5305): bigNum=123.456.789,12
    I/*jonp*  ( 5305): Now=14.01.2011

The problem is that mono uses the LC_ALL or LANG environment variables to
determine what the current culture is, and Android doesn't set either of those
environment variables.
