Actually, the [en], which came from 
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/win2k/setup/Langid.mspx is 
incorrect.

These values are actually [en_US]. Nothing in my OS settings specifies 
US English. So these values are just plain wrong.

It appears that these last two API functions report the localization 
package used by the Windows UI itself, which is distinct from the user's 
preferences for language settings they make in the control panel.
