Bug description:locale for day of week

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.strftime
---

"Format the time and/or date according to locale settings. Month and
weekday names and other language-dependent strings respect the current
locale set with setlocale()."

BUT day of week are allways english, whatever the locale

The given example is :
  setlocale(LC_TIME, "fr_FR");
  echo strftime(" in French %A and");

but the output is not displayed in http://www.php.net/function.strftime

AMOF, output is 
  in French Thursday and Thu

Which is not the expected : "in French Jeudi and Jeu"




Expected result:
----------------
Either documentation is wrong and setlocale is not efficient with
dayofweeks names

Either this is a bug

Anyway, the output for this example should be included in the
documentation (not only the PHP source) as it's done for other examples.
