hi,

I am thinking about making European locales aware of Euro currency.

There're two possible options:

1) Add *_EU locales which should be identical to original except that
they'll utilize "EUR" as International Currency Symbol and "Eu" as
National Currency Symbol. For example German Euro Locale should look
like "de_EU.ISO8859-15". But I not sure about compability of these locale
names with existing applications (like XFree, etc)

2) Fix existing locales of countries which switched from using national
currencies to EURO.

Ideas, Comments ?
