xlocale APIs that libc++ depends on.
XMake is a make utility. It is not compatible with other makes, but
provides extended functionality over most standard makes. Whereas most
other makes have confusing rulesets and do not support many-to-many

and allows you to easily specify many:many dependencies. This gives XMake
the flexibility to deal with complex project hierarchies very simply.
