locale -uU in ~/.profile

[Andrew DeFaria]

I recently debugged this. I share my home directory from a NetApp filer 
such that I can use it from Cygwin or the various Linux machines at my 
client (largely CentOS). Recently I started seeing:

Adefaria-lt:ssh cm-db-ltest01
locale: invalid option -- 'u'
Try `locale --help' or `locale --usage' for more information.
Cm-db-test01:

Hunting this down I found that I have a ~/.profile now (didn't have one 
before) and contained therein is the following:

# Set user-defined locale
export LANG=$(locale -uU)

Turns out that on CentOS locale doesn't support -uU. Now this .profile 
came from a refreshing of Cygwin. How best to handle this...
