I noticed a few "basename()" calls in FAL. These calls are locale aware 
and can cause problems with UTF-8 file systems and non-UTF8 locales.

For other issues we also need a function to temporarily switch to and 
from the system locale (which can be set in the Install Tool for some 
time already).
We need this functionality all over the core and in extensions. What is 
a good place for such a function? t3lib_div is a bit too easy :-)
