* library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl:

* doc/msgcat.n:
* tests/msgcat.test: Applied patches from Chris Nelson, to provide
the mcmset function, which allows the translator to set multiple
string translations in a single function call, rather than
requiring many calls to mcset. [RFE: 6000, 5993].  In addition,
these patches correct mcload to use utf-8 encoding on when reading
message catalog files, and provides for better default behavior
for determining the locale on a Windows system.
