I can't comment on the desirability of splitting out the major/minor
versions, but to simply fix the locale problem other part of gnome
have solved this by setting the local to "C", and restoring the old
one after using any of the printf type functions.

I found this in AbiWord's PS output while in a Portuguese locale.
