I only implemented the set of functions required by POSIX-1.2008, no Linux and no FreeBSD extensions (the latter being a can of worms). If scribus requires strtod_l as soon as other *_l functions are implemented, it's not POSIX-compliant. Having said that, we can certainly add Linux/FreeBSD extensions over time but for the 2.6.0 release I'd like to start with the set of POSIX-mandated functions first.
