As I understand it, setlocale() will only change the behavior of string
functions in the C runtime.  If you want to change the output codepage
of the current console you need to use SetConsoleOutputCP(), and
likewise with SetConsoleCP() for the input codepage.

Visual Studio uses a different/newer version of the C runtime, whereas
MinGW uses the old MSVCRT.DLL as that is the only one that's part of the
operating system and present on any machine without worrying about
redistributables.  You can try linking against the newer versions and
see if the behavior is any different.
