The change from DIS to ISO only happened in -CURRENT. Moreover, the '_'
character was stripped from the "ISO_8859" string . These changes in the
locale names have not been MFC'd yet; as a consequence, the alias
definition
es_ES.DIS_8859-15: es_ES.ISO8859-15
must be added to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias in order to get
X11 working with the ISO8859-15 locale. Unfortunately, 4.5-RELEASE will be
released with the old-fashioned locale names. I have just sent the patch
for locale.alias to the x11/XFree86-4 port maintainer.
