There are none that I've found when I started the ro_RO locale. I am
planning to write such a document based on my past & future experience
with the ro_RO locale.

1. choose appropiate language (<LN>), country (<CN>) and font
encoding like ISO8859-x & EUC staff (<fnt>). Your locale name will
be <LN>_<CN>.<fnt> (see src/share/mklocale/README.locale_name).
2. Modify appropate lines in the Makefiles in the
src/shre/{colldef|mklocale|timedef} directories for -stable. You
might also need to create files specially crafted for your locale
(at least for "timedef").
3. Make appropiate adjustments on src/mtree/BSD.{usr|local}.dist .
You can take the ro_RO locale patch submission as reference
(PR #33343)[*]. Just make sure to use the last patch as the locale name
layout have just been changed in 4.5-RELEASE/-STABLE.
