I'm making locale for language currently unsupported in freebsd (in fact, I'm using it locally several months) and such changes immediately seemed to be more prudent (having min. 5 codepages potentially used). This way everything that's not a real locale name goes to only two extra subdirs and some uncertainty eliminated (for CP1251, do I really have to link to ctype in bg_BY.CP1251??). There even is something like this already -- pseudo la_LN.ISO8859-1. Opinions anyone? wbr, Yury
