Comment(by dsd):
I'm not so sure if changing that in glibc is the right approach.
In English, days of the week are always capitalised, which is why glibc
would say "Monday" instead of "monday".
But in Spanish, you do not capitalise them. They would only be capitalised
if they were at the start of a sentence. And I'm not even sure if you
would ever start a sentence with one (if you wanted to say "Friday is a
good day" you would use "El viernes es un buen día" or similar, I think).
Maybe humitos can clarify.
So I imagine thats why they are not capitalised in glibc.
