In /usr/share/locale, there are many locale data.
And libc includes setlocale(3).
So many people think that we can use many many locales under the
/usr/share/locale/.

But this is incorrect.
Actuary, setlocale(3) in libc supports very few locales, such as default C,
,iso-8859-*, and so on. Asian locales, such as ja,kr, and chinese locales
are NOT supported!

To support all locales under /usr/share/locale/, we must link libxgp4.

So current XFree86 applications link xpg4 defaultly.
See /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/FreeBSD.cf.

Thanks.

PS: My modification is not tested yet. Because I'm using FreeBSD-4.0-stable.
Compilation was OK. But I can not test locale related features.

Taguchi,T.
