Summary: Enforce C locale usage for parsing text output

Initial Comment:
Many plugins rely on parsing text output. But the formatting of this output varies according to the current system locale, making it quite fragile. It was already reported for instance in https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1433114&group_id=29880&atid=397597

The attached patch, contributed former mandriva package maintainer Oden Eriksson,  enforces the use of C locale for all plugins, fixing the issue.
